Whereas the government's proposal is kind of like, because people under 18 are drinking alcohol, we're going to close off licences so none of you can buy alcohol.
It's disproportionate.
And there was a Fianna Fáil politician at this station yesterday.
There's a mix, I mean, and they have rental schemes.
But the suggestion now is let's have a temporary ban until we figure out how to handle it, which seems a retrograde, as I agree with Harry.
Better off to, let's try proper regulation, stricter regulation with all the rules that should be there, like motorbikes.
And if that doesn't work in two years' time, well, then let's revisit it.
Is that what 50% of parents don't even know that it's illegal for under-16s to...
I'd be delighted with that.
Well, I think there's a distinction to be made between the consultants, the hospital consultants and the solicitors in this case.
Harry mentioned the very powerful lobby groups and there's a sense, oh good, the government's standing up to these rich people who are pursuing their interests.
But I think there's a distinction.
In the case of the consultants...
It's about making sure that the publicly funded hospital system is mainly serving patients who don't have private health insurance and who need hospital care.
Whereas that's not being impeded by people who are making private money in the public hospitals.
But in this case, it's about access to justice for those who can't afford private representation.
So I think that's a distinction to be made.
And I mean, I'm not an expert in the legal aid system, but...
It seems to me only fair that if the legal representation takes more than one occasion, you should get paid for subsequent occasion.
And the fee that's mentioned there of 60 euro per appearance doesn't seem outrageous to me.
