Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I second Senator Brian Hayes's amendment to the Order of Business and his references to the spiralling rise in crime associated with alcohol. With increased regularity, unfortunately, there are appalling incidents taking place in many cities and some provincial towns leading to lives being endangered and, sadly, in some instances, lost. Everything Senator Brian Hayes has said is accurate and perceptive. It would not be right that we adjourn for Easter without discussing these matters.
