We will support Deputy Donnelly with this amendment. It is practical and something we were drafting ourselves to be tabled on Report Stage. We are happy with the amendment being put forward. This is a health committee and we must take cognisance of requirements and our duty relating to health issues arising from alcohol use. I share the sentiments of my colleagues in that respect but we must also be practical in how this exercise would have an impact. Given the industry we have and the volume of jobs around the country, about which all of us should be conscious, this is a practical amendment and it deserves to be considered and supported.
