My question relates to the public health (alcohol) Bill and I welcome the proposals recently announced by the Government in this area. Can the Tánaiste update the House on the timetable for dealing with issues like minimum pricing and tell us when the aforementioned Bill will be before the House?

The Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy White, brought proposals to Government recently in this area. The issue is being worked upon but I do not have a date for publication of the legislation as yet.
