I would like to remember the people in Soma, Turkey - those trapped in the mine and dead. There are 182 people and the figure is increasing. The House should write a letter to the embassy to show that we are thinking about it. Health and safety comes into this matter.

A report published by the World Health Organization yesterday revealed that Ireland has the second-highest rate of binge drinking in the world. The global status report on alcohol and health 2014 found that 39% of all Irish people aged 15 years and older had engaged in binge drinking. Austria was in first place with 40% and Ireland was second out of 194 countries. We must do something. Members may be surprised that binge drinking is defined as drinking at least six standard drinks. Many people drink more than this. The report states men are more likely to indulge in binge drinking than women so maybe the women should lead the education process.

It is because of women.

The report refers to 62% of male drinkers aged over 15 years and 31% of female drinkers. We must look at the effect of normalisation and acceptance of binge drinking and we must look at an education process. It is no harm to put it on the agenda, ask the Minister to come to the Chamber and ask where is the public health (alcohol) Bill. A health impact study is being done by the Minister and is due for publication, although I do not know when. The global status report on alcohol and health 2014 has much of the information and perhaps we can get the matter on the agenda again.
