We need to tackle the scourge of binge drinking that is having a huge impact on services within the State, in particular in terms of crime and the pressure it is putting on the health services.

What Bill are we talking about?

When can we expect the public health (alcohol) Bill to provide for minimum unit pricing for retailing of alcohol products? This Bill is long overdue and I would like to see it come before the House soon.

I understand a lot of work has been done on this, as the Deputy is aware. I expect it to come before the House next year.
