Order of Business.

I say to the Leader of the House that when we have a debate on drink, the emphasis should be on under-age drinking, which is illegal. We must realise that people over the age of 18 years are adults and there is a limit to what we can do in that regard. If RTE can film people drinking in pubs on the night the junior certificate results are issued, I do not understand the reason the Garda cannot carry out a major crackdown on under-age drinking on the night in question. It should ensure pubs where under age drinkers are served are closed down.
