Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Amendment of Intoxicating Liquor and Licensing Laws.
asked the Minister for Justice whether, having considered the reports of the Intoxicating Liquor Commission, he intends to introduce legislation at an early date amending the present statutes governing the sale of intoxicating liquor.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 65 and 66 together.
