We are united on the need to address this anomaly and the majority of us are coming to the same conclusions on two other issues. I do not have a problem with the proposal to extend to 7 p.m. the time during which off-sales would be permitted. One minor issue that remains to be addressed...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Benefacts Project: Discussion (13 Feb 2018)
