I move amendment No. 1: In page 5, to delete lines 32 and 33, and substitute the following: “‘waiting area’ means an area—
I pointed out to the House on Committee State that the intention of section 8 (1) is that the applicant for a special restaurant licence must show to the satisfaction of the Circuit Court that a Bord ...
There is no specific amendment dealing with this particular point. I want to refer briefly, if I am in order, to assurances I gave Deputy Kelly on at least two occassions during the course of Committ...
I agree with the thrust of Deputy Barrett's amendment. While he is right when he says it is not referred to specifically in the Bill, it is not necessary to refer specifically to this in the Bill. Fi...
I cannot comment.
I say yes. It is not necessary but I have regard to the views expressed by Members. I agree with what we are trying to do. We are all in agreement on this. I take the advice of elder statesmen who...
I move amendment No. 4: In page 7, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following: “(5) If, in any case, the Board refuses to grant a Bord Fáilte Certificate it shall as soon as may be, by notice i...
This is the same amendment as the one rejected by this House on Committee Stage except that “Circuit Court” has now been substituted for “District Court”. The same arguments apply here as applied on ...
I would like to draw the attention of Deputies to section 3 of the Bill, the effect of which is that it will be construed together with the other liquor licensing Acts, and also to section 7 (2) by vi...
No, not on that ground. In the ordinary way such objection may be made on the grounds of the character of the licensee or the manner in which the premises were conducted during the year or the unfitne...
This is Report Stage. We dealt with this in detail on Committee Stage.
If it helps a situation — it will not make it any better but it will do no harm — I would be prepared to put it in.
Section 12, as it stands, empowers the Minister for Tourism and Transport to make restaurant standard regulations. The effect of these amendments would be to oblige him to make those regulations. Th...
Deputy Taylor proposes that there should be an appeal to the Circuit Court against the decision by the board to cancel its certificate. Clearly, this would mean that there would be an appeal in almos...
That is not so.
I thank the Members for their contributions on these amendments. I too have given the matter some thought since we had a discussion last week on Committee Stage. I have listened to a number of people...
Indeed you are not. Deputy Barrett is put out of the pub at 2 o'clock.
St. Patrick's Day was dry long enough.
The purpose of these amendments is to allow specially licensed restaurants and licensed hotels and licensed restaurants to serve drink until 11 o'clock on Christmas Day. In licensed premises generall...
I move amendment No. 14: In page 11, to delete lines 10 to 16 and substitute the following:
That is what you get for having a good Minister.
Private Members' Business. - Intoxicating Liquor Bill, 1988: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage.
To be found on.
Deputy Barrett will conclude on amendment No. 18 and I will conclude on amendment No. 64. Official amendment No. 64 increases the maximum fine——
If the Deputy gives me a chance perhaps we might be able to work out something. Official amendment No. 64 increases the maximum fines on the licensee, and not on those found on a premises as Deputy M...
The first part of the Deputy's amendment reads:
The second part of the Deputy's amendment reads: (b) in fact sells or exposes for sale any intoxicating liquor or who opens or keeps open any premises for the sale of intoxicating liquor in contraven...
I am sorry to interrupt. The level of fines is not creating any great problem; it is the creation of the new offence. In an effort to get consensus, section 29 of the 1962 Act dealing with permitting...
It should be endorsable.
One should be greater than the other.
Section 25 talks of permitting drink to be consumed. Section 29 of the 1962 Act, however, deals with permitting persons to remain on a licensed premises. There is a certain confusion between these t...
What I will do, a Cheann Comhairle——
I shall communicate my reasons to the Deputy and give him my views on his amendment tomorrow. We have gone beyond the agreed order now. It is a very serious matter, something with which I could not d...
I move amendment No. 24: In page 14, to delete line 26 and substitute the following: “30. In this Part— `age card' means a card issued under section 40 of this Act; `child' means a person under the a...
I move amendment No. 58: In page 21, line 2, to delete “is reasonable ground” and substitute “are reasonable grounds”. This amendment is a technical amendment. The draftsman considered that the substi...
I move amendment No. 59: In page 21, line 51, after “recreation” to insert “which does not take place outside the hours during which excisable liquor may be supplied or consumed on the club premises i...
There was a fairly long debate on this matter on Committee Stage. As a result of that debate I said I would try to tighten up the loophole in section 43 (2) (b). I am now satisfied that this amendme...
Yes, I am. Amendment agreed to.
I move amendment No. 60: In page 22, line 18, to delete “and” and substitute “or”. On Committee Stage Deputy McCartan expressed the view that the defence given in relation to the issue of advertisemen...
I do not accept the argument put forward by Deputy Cooney. This is working well in the North. We have examined how it operates there and we are satisfied that it is operating well and we can certainl...
I move amendment No. 61: In page 23, line 12, after “£500” to insert the following: “and the offence shall be deemed for the purposes of Part III (which relates to the endorsement of licences) of the ...
I note what Deputy Barrett says and when the Bill is in the Seanad I will see what we can do here. With reference to what Deputy McCartan says, the maximum fine here is £500 accompanied, of course, by...
As Deputy McDowell mentioned, I said on Committee Stage that I would look at this suggestion by Deputy Colley. A provision for the suspension of licences such as exists in Nothern Ireland would mark ...
The Deputy knows that I introduced them.
Have faith.
