Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I seek information on two items of promised legislation. First, I refer to secondary legislation in respect of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2008. A piece of secondary legislation enacting the provisions on below-cost selling of alcohol and advertising of alcohol was to be introduced during the summer by the Minister and would have included the issue of bonuses on loyalty cards for the purchase of alcohol. As this has not been forthcoming yet, when will Members have sight of this secondary legislation? Second, No. 17 on the list of expected legislation, the sale of alcohol Bill, which I understand to be a consolidation Bill, was due to be published by now. When will it be published and introduced to the House?
