Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

It is on the Order Paper. I am from the Border region and I am acutely aware of the issues. I distinctly recall being vilified last year on the basis that one of the main reasons people travel to the North is to buy alcohol. That has proved to be correct. It is important to say, for the benefit of the retailers in this country, that we now see better value for money here. There has been a decrease in the prices and we have seen more competition.
