- Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2008)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on this Bill. It has been clear for some time that legislation of this type is necessary.

However, that has to be set against a backdrop of a culture of the consumption of alcohol....
