I would welcome an opportunity to debate the drink problem. Alcohol is a socially accepted drug, which makes it all the more dangerous. Accident and emergency consultants from a number of health boards appeared before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children yesterday when they made a number of interesting comments about the abuse of alcohol and how it impacted on the resources of accident and emergency units. We have a pivotal role to play in this debate. We should applaud the efforts of the Vintners Federation of Ireland, which are demonised in many cases. I am not a vintner—
