Paudie Coffey (Waterford, Fine Gael)

When will the sale of alcohol Bill, which was due to be published this year, be before the House? I understand it will deal with the sale and consumption of alcohol, which is a very important issue in modern society.

The housing Bill, which will deal with the rationalisation of housing agencies, is an important measure that we all await with interest. Perhaps the Taoiseach can say when that legislation will come before us.
