Mr. Robbie Kitt:

Essentially, it is about a flexible system. If there is no reason for a venue to open, it will not open its doors. Demand will vary from city to town and around the country. It is the idea that we have a one-size-fits-all system at the moment is the issue. Mr. James Finan and Ms Ciara O’Connell can talk about restricted closing hours outside of Dublin where in some cases it is restricted to 1.30 a.m. and 2 a.m. We are talking about having some flexibility within the system which can allow businesses to make their own decisions with regard to those options.
