The position is that the Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016 completed Second Stage on 23 March and is currently awaiting Committee Stage. I intend to bring forward Committee Stage amendments to the Bill to ensure that the rules that normally apply to the grant of retail licences will also apply to licences granted under the Bill. This will mean that applicants for a licence under the Bill will have to apply to the court for a certificate before a licence can be granted by the Revenue Commissioners and the licence will be subject to annual renewal. I should add that the required Financial Resolution in relation to this Bill is on the schedule of Dáil business to be taken without debate on 12 December.
