Teenage drinking and bar extensions
Barrett raises teenage drinking and bar extensions; Noonan says licensing-law issues are under consideration but gives no timetable for Government decisions.
(Dublin North-West) asked the Minister for Justice if he will review the licensing laws in relation to the present widespread problems of teenage drinking and bar extensions.
Comment on this
(Limerick East): I propose to take Questions Nos. 7 and 8 together.
Various aspects of the operation of the licensing laws have been under consideration for some time, including the matters mentioned by the Deputy, but I am not in a position to say when Government decisions will be announced.
