As legislators, we have a responsibility to face up to the protection of our citizens, particularly the youth of today who are the future of tomorrow. Will we say we will allow all this unacceptable tolerance of drunkenness to continue or will we send out a clear and unequivocal message that the time has come for us to show leadership? Leadership is the only way that we will move forward on this issue and what the public demands. We also have to recognise the warnings from international surveys and unequivocally state it is no longer acceptable. We have a responsibility to educate young people. While I concur with Senator Ormonde's comments about the responsibilities of schools, teachers have to be assisted. I hope as a result of this debate, we will begin this process in earnest, which should include teachers, parents, the Garda, the courts and the drinks industry.
