It is a related issue regarding the perception of alcohol. It relates to the policy on big match days at the Aviva Stadium, Croke Park or wherever. My question was prompted by an article by Alan Quinlan after one of the matches this year where the crowd did not take their seats until ten minutes after half time. I have been in stadiums around the world where supporters have brought drinks out onto the terraces, which portrays an awful image. I think the opposite is the policy here. I would like the three representatives to articulate the policy of their organisations on big match days as regards the bars and bringing drinks out onto the terraces.
