That is excellent. There is a question of normalising alcohol consumption and making it socially acceptable, which is very important and comes across in the study. We on the committee feel very strongly about the legislation. I did not think I could feel more strongly, but this presentation shows me as a legislator why we need to do more and to bring the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015 into law.

We also need to shine a spotlight on the role of parents and adults in young people’s lives. That is a call to action to us as legislators when talking about alcohol-related harm or alcohol consumption. I thank Ian and Eimear for giving me the evidence for that.
