Willie Penrose
Question:212 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when he will bring forward appropriate amendments to the liquor licensing legislation which would establish the requirement that an applicant for a new excise licence to sell intoxicating liquor in a rural area would be required to purchase just one licence rather than two as is the requirement under existing legalisation; the steps, if any, he will take to consolidate existing licensing law legislation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
