In fairness, I want to encourage the Minister to embrace the Fianna Fáil amendment. That is why I am nice to him. I know he has integrity and good advisors and back up. There are top people in the Department; I used to have them when I was there myself. The Minister also has the willingness as a good constituency representative to listen to the views of those interested people who are sincere, genuine and not in favour of pushing alcohol on young people or anyone else. Everyone wants to protect young people from alcoholism and excessive drinking and it is the unit price that will achieve that.

I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for letting me speak, I appreciate it. I will not bother him for the rest of the debate.
