I seek clarification. I presume what is taking place is a legislative underpinning of what would be normal practice by An Garda Síochána and, I presume, fairly standard practice on busy weekends in urban stations throughout the country. I welcome it because I believe this legislative underpinning is the right way to go. It is more a reflection of our modern society and, unfortunately, the way in which alcohol is consumed. The Minister of State might clarify that.
