Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: We should have brought some craft beer in with us today as we might have got on better.

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: I had one, but I did not have enough.

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: It is unfair to say we would be opening up a new regime of off-licences. The breweries would only be allowed to sell their own beer. The Minister seems to have no problem with thousands of supermarkets all over Ireland being able to sell hundreds of beers and spirits, but he has a problem with 62 microbreweries having the potential to sell their own product. How would that make them...

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: It is disappointing that the Minister has shown so little respect for the committee, although this is not the first time it has happened - so much for new politics. The idea of a cross-party consensus on legislation must be positive. With the exception of the Minister, just about everyone at the committee was on the same wavelength about facilitating microbreweries to grow. In the light of...

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: Okay.

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: I was not saying the Minister had shares in it. He made the point-----

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: Is the Minister allowed to talk while I am speaking?

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: The Minister's point about the tourism element-----

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: Is the Minister allowed to say what he likes while I am speaking?

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: Absolutely. Amendment No. 1 would do away with the tour requirement. Even though we would probably win the vote, I am prepared not to push it in the interests of consensus and harmony and the hope the Minister will see sanity and allow off-sales to proceed without the tour requirement and the premises to stay open until 7 p.m. rather than 6 p.m. The earlier time is ridiculous, but we...

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: We will bring some organic wine also.

Other Questions: Commission on the Future of Policing Reports (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: If the Minister is looking for suggestions, given that the Garda Inspectorate is probably the most impressive body to have come before the committee in the past two years, I suggest he give it the authority to oversee the recommendations. The new Garda Commissioner should provide an update on the website on how he is progressing with implementing the recommendations that have been put...

Other Questions: Commission on the Future of Policing Reports (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: 11. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality when he expects the Commission on the Future of Policing to finalise its final report; if he has received an interim report to date; the costs associated with the running of the commission, including salaries and so on, since its inception; if the new Garda Commissioner will be bound by the expected recommendations of the...

Other Questions: Commission on the Future of Policing Reports (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: We sought an outsider for the role of Garda Commissioner and we got one. I welcome him and wish him the best. We will judge him on his performance in An Garda Síochána. When does the Minister expect the Commission on the Future of Policing to finalise its report? Has he received any interim reports to date and, if so, what is the cost associated with same? Will the new Garda...

Other Questions: Commission on the Future of Policing Reports (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: So do I.

Other Questions: Commission on the Future of Policing Reports (5 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: Mr. Harris is an outsider in that he was not previously a member of An Garda Síochána. The Minister mentioned that the commission is an independent body, which is all the more reason there is no excuse for it not producing an interim report. Will the commission cease to exist on publication of its report and, if so, who will have oversight of the implementation of its...

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: Where is the logic in that? People who have not been in a craft brewery will want to do tours but if a person has had the tour, bar a change in the premises, he or she is unlikely to want to have a tour every time he or she goes in looking for a six-pack. The long and the short of it is that we are dancing around issues here for God knows what reason. I presume it is to placate the...

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: I am, yes, and I have not gone off subject. Does the Minister think I have?

Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Report Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: I move amendment No. 1:In page 3, lines 10 to 25, to delete all words from and including “(1) Where” in line 10 down to and including line 25 and substitute the following:“(1) Where a person who holds a relevant licence (in this section referred to as “the applicant”) duly gives notice of his or her intention to apply for a licence under this section in...

European Council: Statements (4 Jul 2018)

Mick Wallace: Europe does not want them. I can understand why Europe does not want to flood the EU with mad jihadists but what is the EU plan to deal with the jihadists in Idlib who nobody wants but who the EU was actually involved in funding and arming? My final question is as follows. Does the EU have any concerns around Erdogan's relationship with the Kurds and the threat of genocide against the...
