Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

There is also the issue of cutbacks in other areas. Funding needs to be provided by the Government for the implementation of the Youth Work Act and for other initiatives because much more needs to be done to encourage young people to engage in leisure activities other than drinking alcohol. Senator Norris and others mentioned incidents in which they have been involved. I went into the city centre recently and somebody tried to start a fight with the person accompanying me. We saw things in the city centre which put us off going in again. If there were more gardaĆ­ on the beat, I would have felt much happier in the city centre despite those incidents.
