I welcome the witnesses, whom I have met at various times over the years. I was disappointed to hear that Lonely Planet highlighted going to the pub as the greatest experience for a tourist visiting Ireland. I always thought my American friends enjoyed the Blarney Stone more than anything else.

I disagree with Deputy Flanagan. I believe sport is being hung out to dry in this case. If there is to be a total ban on alcohol sponsorship in sport, do we include music, the arts and festivals-----
