We are all aware of the ongoing problem of the sale of cheap alcohol, the result of which is clogging up our accident and emergency and casualty units at weekends. When can we expect to see the sale of alcohol Bill brought before the House because it is long overdue?

I do not have a date for the publication of that Bill but the Minister of State with responsibility for primary care is developing proposals in that area which I expect will be before Government in the near future.
