Display ban for beer but not wine is unfair, say brewers- The Observer,
- Sunday August 3 2008
When it comes to drinking, the Irish government seems to trust citizens who like wine far more than those who prefer beer and spirits.
In an effort to clamp down on rising drink-fuelled anti-social behaviour, as well as improve public health, the government has proposed in its Intoxicating Liquor Act 2008 that there should be a ban on beers and whiskies being on open display in the aisles of small to medium-sized shops. Yet an amendment to the act would allow customers to browse freely around displays of wine.
