The Public Health (Alcohol) Bill remains a priority for this Government. The Bill is part of a suite of measures agreed on foot of the recommendations in the Steering Group Report on a National Substance Misuse Strategy. The Government approved the publication of the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill and the introduction of the Bill in the Houses of the Oireachtas on 8 December 2015. The Bill completed Second Stage in the Seanad on 17 December 2015 and I expect that it will commence Committee Stage early in the next term.
