Financial Resolution No. 1: Excise (Alcohol Products)
7:00 pm
Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
Responsible drinking is not determined by the level of excise. If it were, this country would not have the alcohol problems it has given that in many cases we have the highest excise levels in the European Union. That is a rather nebulous and fallacious argument.
