Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

That could create a problem for someone like me as a councillor in Dublin if this is being widely invoked. If the position is as bad as Senator Norris has indicated, it would mean having to make representations on a daily if not an hourly basis. It is empowering local representatives to play a greater role, however, in making and shaping their communities, even though the Irish Nightclub Industry Association has problems with city councils and local authorities being involved. It fears it will mean an extra layer of bureaucracy. My own belief is that if people adhere to the law they should not have a problem, whether they are answering to a judge, local authority or otherwise.
