John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

In your capacity as a medical doctor, you have often given us good advice at the end of term to take a holiday etc. You will agree with me that the biggest drug problem we face is not cocaine but alcohol. I ask the Taoiseach why has the sales promotions Bill covering the control of advertising, sponsorship and marketing practices of alcohol products disappeared? It seems the task force recommendations on alcohol abuse will not be implemented.
