Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Alcohol demand is falling demonstrably in Ireland and around the West. It’s especially falling out of favour among young people. And yet selling booze - notably whiskey in this country - is an important part of the Irish economy and a source of substantial tax revenue. So Far the government has increased the taxes on alcohol and set a minimum price per unit below which it can't be sold.
