Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
This issue should not be driven by "Prime Time" television images which suit its particular tale. Young people are no worse today than when I was young a long time ago. I could tell stories about how we, as students, spent every penny we had on drink or whatever was the particular fun at the weekend. I could tell stories of those of us who made poitÃn in Dublin flats and apartments. The world has not changed that much. I am very uncomfortable with the idea of hammering kids, blaming parents and so on. I will give the reason because there is an issue here.
