Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

To answer the Deputy, if he is to extend his logic, I would not discuss the licensing laws with any publican or hotel owner in my constituency whom I support. If that was the case I would never go outside the door for fear I might meet someone with whom I might have a connection in my Department. When I supported that proposal, it was in the context of a leisure and sports facility.
