I would be interested in hearing the views of Ms Costello and Professor Barry on whether alcohol should be available in colleges - many of which have bars - in this country, on whether a restriction should be put in place to prevent alcohol being available in the vicinity of schools and colleges and on whether the consumption of alcohol in public places should be completely restricted. I frequently travel by train and I am aware that one can buy alcohol as well as coffee and tea during one's journey. One can also bring alcohol on board trains and drink it as one travels. Do Ms Costello and Professor Barry have any opinions on this very relaxed approach to where alcohol can be consumed?
