I move amendment No. 6:

In page 4, to delete lines 3 to 12 and substitute the following:

“(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Licensing Acts 1833 to 2018, a licence issued or renewed under this section shall operate to authorise, between the hours of 10.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. each day other than Christmas Day, the sale on the premises to which the licence is attached of intoxicating liquor manufactured in accordance with a relevant licence on the premises—(a) to persons who have completed a guided tour of the premises—
(i) for consumption on or off the premises, where the certificate referred to in subsection (1) has been granted by the Circuit Court, or

(ii) for consumption off the relevant premises where the certificate referred to in subsection (1) has been granted by the District Court,

and
(b) to persons other than those referred to in paragraph (a) for consumption off the relevant premises, where the certificate referred to in subsection (1) has been granted by the Circuit Court or the District Court.”.

This amendment is a substitute for what is already in the sectionthat will allow for the consumption off premises - off-sales - as outlined in the previous amendment we voted on, amendment No. 2. It will follow through on that byinserting "(b) to persons other than those referred to in paragraph (a)for consumption off the relevant premises, where the certificate referred to in subsection (1)has been granted by the Circuit Court or the District Court". This provision is to ensure that this part of the Bill allows that to happen.

If it is possible, and I hope it is followingdiscussion, I am agreeable to changing the 10 a.m. to 6 p.m in this amendment tobe 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. as proposed in Deputy Clare Daly's amendment No. 8. I understand that has to be done with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle and if it is allowable. I would be agreeable to Deputy Daly's amendment No. 8 amending my amendment No. 6 to facilitate that.
