Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Others used Leaders' Questions but I was keeping my question for this item, so, if I may, the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill has been on the schedule for quite some time. A Government spokesperson in the Seanad wrongly accused this party of delaying it, which is an untrue statement. I have been pushing for this since the summer and we have indicated our support for the legislation. I am told by my colleagues in the Seanad, however, that they are told it will be dealt with this month, then next month and now that it will be another week or two before it will be presented. Will the Minister confirm when the Bill will be re-entered, if one likes, to the Seanad and the Oireachtas process?
