Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

We are looking for a place in which to incorporate into the law of the land some recognition of the need not to deal with repeat alcohol-related offences, in particular, as infractions of the public law and no more, but also to give an express nudge to District Court judges to do something further by making it a condition of a sentence, adjournment or whatever that the accused person should obtain treatment.
