Alcohol Action Ireland
Alcohol Action Ireland (AAI) is now setting out its vision,
mission, values, goals and actions over the next five years in
this strategic plan. Our vision is of a society free from alcohol
harm. Given the current levels of alcohol harm in Ireland there
is a real urgency to maintain pressure on harmful alcohol
consumption.
It is clear from interventions in other
counties e.g. Iceland14,15 and Estonia16
that concrete government action
guided by public health policies as
recommended by the WHO can
lead to significant reductions in
alcohol consumption and consequent
measurable improvements in public
health. In Iceland the percentage of
adolescents who have never used
alcohol during their lifetime rose from
20.8% in 1995 to 65.5% in 201514. In
Estonia there has been a reduction in
alcohol consumption from 14.8 litres per
capita in 2007 to 9.9 litres per capita in
2016 while the number of deaths from
alcohol related illnesses fell by 40%
over this period.16
It is apparent also, that an overall
reduction in alcohol consumption will
strongly contribute to the aims of the
Healthy Ireland Framework – e.g. in
the areas of obesity, smoking, wellbeing
and sexual health. There are also
multiple other areas of Government
strategy in which the reduction in
alcohol consumption has a significant
role e.g.

Alcohol-related harm costs the State an estimated €3.7 billion
annually, with €2.4 billion of that figure accounted for by
health and crime-related costs alone. In human terms, it
costs three lives a day and is a major driver of many serious
societal issues, such as crime and child welfare and neglect.
The price of alcohol impacts on general consumption and
lower consumption levels lead to reduced harms and costs.
A recent study by the Health Research Board found that more
than half of adult drinkers in Ireland, over 1.3 million people,
are drinking in a harmful manner

Research has consistently shown that parental alcohol misuse can have considerable negative effects on children, young people and the family environment. Children growing up in alcohol fuelled family environments often do not achieve their full potential in life, have low self esteem, lack in confidence, feel unsafe and find it difficult to trust others (Kroll and Taylor1, Gorin2, Barnard3, Forrester and Harwin4). Adding to this, the issue of parental alcohol misuse often remains hidden with many children and young people suffering and growing up in silence. Yet with this knowledge, European alcohol policy has predominantly focused on the licensing and trading of alcohol, its impact on crime and on individual health with little attention being paid to the impact of parental alcohol misuse on children, young people and families.
This study aims to review and identify the main approaches adopted by EU Partners in addressing the issue of children affected by parental alcohol problems (ChAPAPs), drawing specifically on research, policy, practice and service development. This is a particularly timely study as the EU Commission is placing more emphasis on member states to protect young people and children, and the unborn child, from alcohol related harm across Europe. Many EU partners are also in the process of developing and/or updating national alcohol strategies.
