Demand that Drinkaware cease all education based activities with Irish schools

The Issue

We the undersigned are calling on Drinkaware, an organisation with close funding ties to the alcohol industry to cease all activity relating to schools-based education in Ireland.   Drinkaware has indicated its intention to continue with the provision of their teacher training and of their schools based education programme against the advice of the Taoiseach, the HSE and the Department of Health.    The WHO advise against the involvement of alcohol industry funded organisations in the delivery of education, prevention and public health information.     Our children deserve better.      Organisations funded by the alcohol industry have no place in Irish schools.
