Licensing of Indoor Events Bill 2001: Second Stage.
We all saw the tragic pictures of the event in the USA recently where a simple firework caused dozens of deaths. This can happen so easily. The powers this Bill gives to the relevant authorities – the fire service, Garda, health boards and local authorities – will allow them to be preventive and not just reactive. I congratulate the Minister and his Department on the introduction of the Bill, which I support.
