Sheila Terry: I welcome the Bill and agree with most of its provisions. Senators got the Bill in their post this morning and we are dealing with Second Stage today. More importantly, we are being asked to take Committee and Remaining Stages tomorrow. I do not understand why the Minister is seeking to rush the Bill through the House. I understand his desire to have it passed before the summer recess, but...

Seanad: Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage. (18 Jun 2003)

Sheila Terry: I am a liberal person and I would have no difficulty with allowing public houses to remain open 24 hours a day if people were able to deal with alcohol in the way that people in Spain can deal with it. My son was working in a pub there last year and it remained open all night. Pubs in Spain close for an hour between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., but there is no violence on the streets. The people there...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Committee and Remaining Stages. (11 Jun 2003)

Sheila Terry: I thank the Minister of State for his response and accept it. Many delays can lead to a lengthy period.
