Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Provision is also made in subsection (6) for the Equality Authority to apply to the District Court for redress in certain cases, while subsection (7) provides that the authority provide assistance to persons applying to the courts for redress. People have said that the equality tribunal was an easy place in which to claim redress, which I accept. However, I am now giving the Equality Authority the role of assisting people in making claims in the District Court, effectively giving it a right to participate where there are allegation that there have been infringements.
