Poll: Do you think the 'Welfare Wednesday' drinks promo is irresponsible?

Some politicians have spoken out against the deal.

A ‘WELFARE WEDNESDAY’ drinks promotion at Liz Delaney’s pub in Coolock, Dublin is getting a lot of attention.

The promotional poster shows the logo of the Department of Social Protection and several beers and spirits being offered for €3.

Fine Gael Senator Catherine Noone said the promotion is “irresponsible” for its targeting of welfare recipients.

So today we’re asking, Do you think the ‘Welfare Wednesday’ drinks promo is irresponsible?
