Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
10:30 am
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
I feel suffocated by the unctuous moralising that has been all around me for the past two hours and I cannot handle it any more. I feel I should oppose every section of the Bill for all kinds of reasons. No more than the Minister, I would be considered to be a libertarian in many ways and I have much difficulty with what is contained in the Bill. I am aware of the reasons for it and I welcome the fact that the Minister is responding to many issues. I am not sure all the answers are in the Bill. There are some provisions with which I have no problem.
