187 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Justice when she intends to complete her review of the licensing laws. [6565/97]
A review of the liquor licensing laws is not taking place in my Department. The Select Committee on Legislation and Security and the Competition Authority are, however, currently reviewing those laws. The reviews are independent of my Department and I cannot give an indication of when they will be completed.
When the reports of the reviews are published any recommendations they may make in relation to the liquor licensing laws will be given detailed consideration in my Department.
