Order of Business.
My next point may relate to that raised by Senator Brian Hayes on the issue of law and order. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform recently told this House he would bring forward a new licensing Bill within 15 to 21 days. That time has now elapsed. Many people wish to know what will be contained in that Bill, when it will be introduced and what is its intention. The Minister referred to the issuing of licences for small café type premises. The matter needs to be spelt out. We should have a discussion on this matter before the Bill is introduced. We are constantly losing out on such a discussion.
