I ask the Senators who took a particular position when the House voted on this matter earlier today to...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2018)

Kevin Humphreys: You raised the good weather, a Chathaoirligh, and it is great to see so many people in the capital city enjoying themselves at concerts and outdoor events. However, there has been a downside to that due to the excessive use of alcohol and public order offences. With an increasing number of outdoor events it is necessary to have a set of standards nationwide to ensure the safety of young...
