So looking forward to this event highlighting the vital importance of funding the excellent work at the Rise Foundation through sale of Paddy's inspiring creative poetry. Also Sheila Gilheany in conversation with myself Silent Voices Ireland & MLawlor.

Excellent contribution from Sheila Gilheany about the marketing of alcohol - which is no ordinary product. We need to start seeing alcohol for what it is - a psychoactive substance, and treat it accordingly. Tobacco products would not be promoted on live TV in same way.

'Companies are cynically commodifying the guilt, stress and exhaustion many women feel with the pressures of modern life, by selling alcohol as the cure.' It is time for governments to act, argues Catarina Giorgi, CEO of FARE. Caterina Giorgi @fareaustralia

Such remarkable & courageous words from the daughter of a Dad with alcohol addiction describing low finances espec for food which inspired her 'trailblazing' work on food security. @nacoa PEIN Silent Voices Ireland Peter Rice IAS Movendi International

In considering proposals to increase licensing hours in Ireland through #SaleofAlcoholBill , important to look at outcomes in other jurisdictions.

Thank you John for your powerful and heartbreaking testimony. Alcohol robs families every day but it doesn’t have to be this way. Gov certainly can help by not extending licensing hours. These decisions have impacts. #SaleOfAlcoholBill Simon Harris TD Charlie Flanagan

Really good to hear RSA Ireland Chair, Liz O’Donnell, making a strong call for an impact assessment of proposals to extend licensing hours and to base such decisions on the evidence. Serious road safety concerns about increasing alcohol availability.

Mark Mehigan: ‘If it wasn’t for cocaine, I would not be in recovery. I would have continued to get away with the drinking’
