Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

10:30 am

Derek McDowell (Labour)

While I tend to agree with Senator O'Toole's view, I will not rehearse the arguments. Am I correct in understanding from the section that the special exemption order runs to the times designated, be it 1 a.m. or 2.30 a.m., depending on the day, and that the only discretion of the local authority rests with the area to which they are to be applied? Am I correct in assuming that local authorities do not have a discretion on the time aspect, in order that, for example, it would not be open to them to provide that special exemptions will extend to 1.30 a.m. only?
