Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I thank the Minister and will look at the sale of alcohol Bill when it is produced. This applies not just to the licensee. If I telephone a taxi company and ask a driver to buy drink from an off-licence and deliver it with the agreement that I will pay the taxi fare and the price of the drink, that is a transfer. That taxi driver is selling on alcohol and that is not illegal because the transaction has happened between the taxi driver and the licensee. Given that we are short of time I will leave it until the sale of alcohol Bill is produced.
