The matter was raised at the Committee on Procedure and Privileges and we will raise it there again. There should be no need to send out the Order Paper in envelopes. I cannot see why it cannot be dropped into Members' pigeon-holes for collection.

Senator Mooney referred to sports sponsorship by the alcohol industry, as well as the work of the alcohol advisory body. I will endeavour to have the Minister of State, Deputy Shortall, attend the House to inform us of what legislation is proposed in this regard. Senator Mooney said we have the highest percentage of non-alcohol drinkers in the EU, which might be forgotten by many commentators.
