Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008: Committee Stage
1:00 pm
Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)
The Minister of State's logic is that closing all late-night drinking establishments will curtail excessive drinking, anti-social behaviour and curb demand for alcohol. We have found in the past that this does not work. This is a killjoy Bill and I am disappointed the Minister of State continues to talk about the general problem without addressing the specific proposal being made here.
