Cyprian Brady (Fianna Fail)

I congratulate the Donegal coroner, Mr. Sean Cannon, on highlighting the influence of alcohol as a major contributing factor in the tragic death of a 15 year old boy, Brendan Rush, in Donegal town last year. We all heard the plans for mandatory identification cards, heavier penalties and changes in advertising standards. I accept that this matter was the subject of a previous debate, but I ask the Leader to arrange a debate which would focus on the aspect of parental responsibility.
