It's almost like this government doesn't want ANYONE to have a bit of fun.
A report from an Oireachtas committee on health will include urgings to the government to introduce minimum unit pricing on the sale of alcohol.
The report's findings, if enacted, would see a bottle being sold for no less than €10, with an upper limit at €1.10 per unit.
Ireland currently has some of the highest prices for alcohol in the EU, with the likes of Poland, Spain and Hungary at the lower end of the spectrum.
Medical professionals believe the price hike on booze will have a knock-on effect on the public health, particularly when it comes to cheap alcohol sold in supermarkets.
The move comes as pub chain Wetherspoons, known for their below-cost prices on alcohol, are set to make a move into Cork and other areas of Dublin.
What do you think? Should a minimum price on alcohol be enforced? Let us know in the comments!
