Martin Conway (Fine Gael)

It is good to see that this issue is being examined. The code of practice must be all-embracing. It needs to consider the operations of premises that have wine licences as well as full alcohol licences. This is particularly true when young people of 15 to 17 years of age have summer jobs working on the premises. There must be some training as part of a code of practice. This must also be considered in terms of regions. Abuse of alcohol is prevalent in certain resorts and areas. There may be a number of establishments in the town and two or three of them are flagrantly doing what they should not be doing. A code of practice is important and is welcome. Perhaps the Minister will elaborate on his thoughts on the draft code of practice.
