Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

My other amendments are consequential on the first. Amendments Nos. 4 to 6, inclusive, are aimed at achieving the same end. I would be very interested to hear Senator Bohan's view on the matter. Instead of indicating to the licensee that it is a crime to permit drunkenness to take place in a bar, which is easy to say but difficult to implement, it would be fairer to require that he or she takes all reasonable steps to prevent it. It would be fairer on the licensee and easier to adjudge. It would be more reasonable in every way.
