The report of the National Substance Misuse Strategy Steering Group in relation to alcohol was launched in February last and it is encouraging public debate. I envisage an Action Plan being developed in advance of proposals being drafted for Government later in the year. This Action Plan shall take into account the recommendations made by the Steering Group in its report - including the recommendation on drinks' industry sponsorship of sports and other large public events that is the subject of the Deputy's question.
