‹ Order of Business Alcohol licensing legislation
Summary
Tony McLoughlin asks about legislation to simplify alcohol licensing and reduce harm; the Tánaiste says the public health alcohol Bill is due this session and the sale and consumption Bill next year.
I refer to the laws governing both the sale and consumption of alcohol in Ireland. When can Members expect the much anticipated sale of alcohol Bill to be brought before the House for debate? As I am sure the Tánaiste will agree, this Bill will simplify the current licensing laws and, ultimately, will reduce alcohol-related harm among young people, in particular.
