“Drugs misuse is a societal problem, not unique to any specific industry.  Our members have legal responsibilities for their staff and their customers, and with this initiative we are trying to keep them informed on how best to provide a safe and drug free environment for socialising.

 

This is the first time such a training programme will be available nationally, it is topical and relevant, and we expect industry wide demand for the training.”

 

Mary Kennedy, CEO, Alcohol.ie
