Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The State has an important role to play in addressing the problems associated with alcohol-related harm, but it must be combined with action at other levels. I refer here to local community action, action within the family – where values and parental example are crucial – and at individual level, where self-esteem and self-respect are all important. Senator Quinn spoke about this on a previous occasion and set out the four levels of action on this matter. I tend to agree with him and I have stolen his lines on a number of occasions.
