Order of Business
10:30 am
Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)
My point is that this issue has been brought to my attention and may not have received the requisite attention yesterday. Perhaps it will receive more today. The Leas-Chathaoirleach who comes from a rural area in County Mayo realises the effect on pubs. Publicans control their business, do not permit binge drinking on their premises and control young drinkers. This promotion constituted a major encouragement to young drinkers and non-Irish nationals, in particular, who could have availed of this offer of 12 free cans of Budweiser or Guinness on purchasing 12 cans.
