[Margaret Pilkington]

Junetta there have always been places that you could go to that would serve you drinks after hours.....it isn't exactly the licensing laws that I'm having a pop at....but the mixed messages that this government likes to transmit. As I say it was just a bit ironic that the Government Minister for health was wringing her hands in mock concern about the 'problem'.......lengthening opening hours for folk that are already into a culture of binge drinking (whatever the cause of that is ascribed to) must be a ridiculous solution.
