Intoxicating Liquor Bill (Urgent update)

category national | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Friday July 04, 2008 14:55author by Phier Report this post to the editors

Includes text no longer available on the Oireachtas timeline for this issue.

Right, here's all the discussion relating to sequential closing times, nightclub licenses, and some mention of restricting marketing and sales practises children are exposed to. (the right way to tackle the problem).

http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~phier/talks.doc

Skip down to the end to see Dermot Ahern's response.

Basically it seems he has ignored all the appeals to bring in sequential closing times saying people could just hop from one place to another. Nothing was mentioned of detaching opening hours from alcohol sales hours as mentioned in my mail to him and others - http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~phier/licensing.doc

He doesn't seem to be interested in stopping this by better enforcement at the point of sale, stopping barmen serving drunk people, or entry into a pub/club. He's also selected some stats that attempt to rubbish the UKs approach i highlighted. I've yet to look into these apparent facts to see if they are just that, but i intend to do so and mail him and the others listed in the above doc before Tue the 8th.

Another disgrace in this whole fiasco is that this information is no longer available on:
http://www.oireachtas.ie/viewdoc.asp?fn=/documents/bill...1.htm
There was no debate on the the proposals of the bill before bringing it to the house, and now the public are being denied information on it just 4 days before it is set in stone.
