As we discussed on Wednesdays show, on-pitch alcohol advertising during sports matches has been banned in Ireland since 2018. However, viewers of Ireland’s recent 6 Nations win over France will have noticed the logo of Guinness Zero Zero (0.0) on the field of play.

Cormac Healy, Director of Drinks Ireland joined us this morning with his view on these advertisements.
