Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Public Health (Alcohol) Bill is very close to my heart. The Deputy and I are architects of it and I am very keen for it to pass through the Oireachtas as quickly as possible. It has completed Committee Stage in the Seanad. The Government anticipated it would complete all Stages in the Seanad and, hopefully, be introduced into the Dáil before the recess but, if that is not to be the case, we expect it to be concluded early next year. The Deputy will appreciate the Government has a majority in neither the Seanad nor the Dáil. If it did, much more would be done much more quickly.
