Dr John Ryan

I think it's going to be the greatest atmosphere at any boxing event I've ever witnessed, you know, certainly in my lifetime.

And I'm so pleased for her as well.

Well, I was going to say, talking to...

various people about different organisations, you can have that top-down thing.

And it seemed to work a little bit when Lancaster came in, he went down and said, OK, this is how we're doing things.

Take all the ideas that you want.

But maybe now it needs to come from somewhere else.

Like in high school, American football is frequently where the colleges rip off ideas and then the NFL rips ideas off from college.

You would assume best coaches are all constantly working in the NFL, but actually, frequently it comes the other way.

Morning, David.

Not at all, not at all, but it's good to hear it.

You know, it's good to have evidence from Ireland in this really important area.

And I think aside from highlighting maybe the risk, the need for looking at the guidelines, it also see, now I haven't seen these reports because they're just published, but it also highlights, you know, the harms, the mortality, the burden on hospital, the acute hospital related to alcohol harms, you know, it's, it's pretty stark.

Yeah, I mean, it is very important that liver is highlighted as a major factor in alcohol harms.

Most of the deaths, the majority of deaths from alcohol are liver, you know, 50 to 60% of the deaths.

There's other, alcohol can cause strokes, it's associated with cardiovascular disease and cancers and trauma and things like that.

But certainly liver is really where a lot of the damage is done and where alcohol causes mortality.

So

You know, I see this on a daily basis.

I see alcohol affecting young people in their 30s with advanced liver disease up to their 80s.
