Although I acknowledge the argument of the Fine Gael Party, I am not convinced that its argument about changing closing times from 12.30 a.m. to 11.30 p.m. is the crucial link in terms of public order. The recommendation of the Liquor Licensing Commission was not based on public order issues but on absenteeism from work, lateness for work and absenteeism from lectures by students on Friday mornings. As I indicated to Deputy Deasy, if I am wrong in respect of this matter – I do not believe I am – there will be an opportunity in 2004, by way of our major Bill, to standardise the closing time, including Friday and Saturday, to the time suggested by Senator Terry. I am relying on the recommendations I received and I am not thinking up some little wheeze of my own. Although I acknowledge the validity of much that the Senator has stated, the issues she has raised are much more related to the special exemption orders. In that context, I remind her that the legislation is also providing for local authorities to have a new, proactive role in part or all of their functional areas in respect of special exemption orders. This matter should not be ruled out of the equation.
