There has been much public comment on the issue of advertising of alcohol and alcohol sponsorship in a sports setting. The Joint Committee on Transport and Communications is compiling a report on this issue. When does the Government intend to bring forward the sale of alcohol Bill which I hope will deal with some of the concerns expressed in society?

The Minister of State, Deputy Alex White, is working on an alcohol Bill which will be available later in the year. The Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter, is also working on legislation to deal with alcohol. It is hoped this will be available by the end of the year.
