Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I support Senator Henry's amendment. It would provide an ideal opportunity to get treatment for somebody who comes before the courts. I am not sure whether that would be possible and I look forward to the Minister's response.

I am not trying to dilute Senator Henry's amendment, which is very useful, but I want to introduce another issue – advertising – which affects people's thinking about alcohol. I apologise for introducing the issue at this point, but I could not see any other opportunity to do so. I ask the Minister to tell us when he intends to address the whole issue of advertising of drinks. Will that happen next year when he will return to address this area?
