Northern Ireland Office written question – answered at on 2 February 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what progress is being made through the British-Irish Council on tackling alcohol misuse throughout the British Isles.
I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Home Office who are the lead Department.
The British-Irish Council facilitates and fosters collaboration among member administrations and provides a forum where issues, such as substance misuse, can be discussed. The use and misuse of alcohol was the theme of the British-Irish Council Ministerial Summit hosted by the Irish Government in June 2015 on which the following communiqué was issued: http://www.britishirishcouncil.org/sites/default/files/communiqu%C3%A9s/24%20-%20Twenty%20Fourth%20Summit%20-%20Dublin%20-%2019%20June%202015.pdf
