I also welcome the powers the Minister is introducing for non-uniformed gardaí. It is surprising that non-uniformed gardaí did not have the same powers as their uniformed colleagues. The provision for new closing hours, back to 11.30 p.m. on Thursday night, is also welcome, as is the initiative the Minister is giving to local authorities in relation to exemptions. That is a good thing. It gives local representatives who should have their finger on the pulse a better say in their communities.
