That is a matter for Mr. Downey.

I welcome Ms Caroline Byrne, who was job shadowing me today even though today is not national job shadow day. She was unable to attend on national job shadow day so I welcome her today. She is in the Public Gallery.

I do not often agree with Senator Terry Leyden but he has a point in regard to the Good Friday issue. There should be more no-alcohol days in this country, not just Christmas Day and Good Friday. We should look at restricting hours.

If the Bill proposed by my colleagues does nothing else but provide a platform for debate on reducing the hours of sale of alcohol, it will be a good one.
