Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

With reference to the issue of Garda personnel and the need for gardaí to be diverted to the right areas of operation, much Garda time has been taken up in dealing with anti-social behaviour. When will the sale of alcohol Bill be introduced in order to bring some control to the way the sale of alcohol is dealt with?

Finally, but by no means least, before the summer recess I asked for time for a debate on agriculture. The payments situation is in crisis and there is also a crisis in the pig industry where prices are falling and the cost of feed has risen.
