The purpose of the amendments is to deal with the consumption of alcohol by minors and the targeting of children and minors through advertising. I am happy to withdraw them at this stage but I reserve the right to resubmit on the basis that we all acknowledge that there is an issue that needs to be dealt with. It might be necessary to resubmit the amendments on a later Stage.

In the intervening time, I would be amenable to discussions with the Department as to how we can ensure children are not the target of online advertising. I am happy to withdraw the amendment on the basis that the Minister agrees that further discussion may take place, but I may resubmit it.
