Senator Feeney expressed the view that the public interests are well served by self-regulation and it is to be hoped that the revised medical practitioners Act will enhance the situation. The Senator's contribution was very timely, as also were Senator Henry's comments on the matter. With regard to the matter raised by Senator Terry, I hope the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform will be in a position to come to the House for the resumed debate on drink-related issues. The Senator also requested the involvement of the Department of Health and Children in view of the many people crowding into accident and emergency departments of hospitals as a result of the effects of drink or its aftermath. Senator Glynn raised the problem of stabbings, to which he has referred on previous occasions in the House, and the need for a debate on the misuse of alcohol.
