Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

I have two questions. Will the Leader apologise to the House for the remarks that were made yesterday? Second, will he allow a debate at the earliest opportunity on the role of alcohol in Irish society? I understand the Leader will this month celebrate his 50th anniversary as a pioneer. That is a tremendous achievement for which he deserves great credit. Alcohol is the most widely used and most harmful drug in our society. A debate is required as a matter of urgency.
