Senator Hanafin raised the cost of alcohol compared to soft drinks. This is a serious issue and I will have time left aside for it to be debated in the House.

Senator Burke, the Leas-Chathaoirleach, made a valid point on mortgage repayments. I checked that out this morning and a loan repayment of €1,400 seven months ago is now €1,050, which is a saving of €350 per month.
