I accept that, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, but a certain degree of urgency needs to be brought to this. It is sitting there a long time.

The other issue I want to raise is the public health (alcohol labelling provisions) Bill. When is that Bill due to be published? I hope that the Bill not alone will carry the warnings and dangers of alcohol consumption, particularly in pregnancy, but will also provide for more information on the calorie content of alcohol. When will the public health (sunbeds) Bill be introduced? It is a simple proposition to ban sunbed use for under 18s. Adults are old enough to make their own decision if they want to risk skin cancer, but our children should not be exposed to it.
