Alcohol Consumption by Young People: Statements.
In recent times, radio and television programmes have often touted some type of liberal approach to life. I heard two very fine people on "Today with Pat Kenny" yesterday pointing out what has happened to Ireland, as a society, as a result of the abuse of alcohol. They had all the statistics and they were idealistic in the manner in which they made their presentation. I do not wish to criticise Pat Kenny because he was acting as a facilitator and compere on the show. The arguments he was putting forward suggested to me that the young children are setting the agenda for the parents.
