‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Intoxicating Liquor Laws. New licences in Dublin county
Summary
McMahon raised the restriction on granting new licences within a mile of an existing one despite population growth and planned towns; the Minister acknowledged the anomaly, and the Ceann Comhairle treated it as a separate question.
Is the Minister aware of the anomalies that exist in the licensing laws in the Dublin area—that it is not possible to get a new licence in the county area within one mile of an existing licence although the population is increasing at an enormous rate and that we are in the process of building three new towns there?
