Vol. 174 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Amendment of Licensing Laws.

18.

asked the Minister for Justice if he is now in a position to state when legislation for the amendment of the present licensing laws in accordance with the Report of the Intoxicating Liquor Commission will be introduced.

19.

asked the Minister for Justice when it is proposed to introduce legislation to amend the present licensing laws.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to answer Questions Nos. 18 and 19 together.

The position is still as stated in my reply of 28th January, namely, that I am not yet able to give a firm indication as to when amending legislation may be introduced.

Will the Minister state now when he hopes to be in a position to give us an idea as to when legislation will be brought in?

No, I cannot, at the moment.

The Minister cannot give any idea? It will be after the Presidential election, I suppose.
