Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

If one does not like the outcome, one can take one's case to the appeals tribunal. The appeals tribunal comprises a nominee of the business community, a nominee of the trade unions and an independent person. These are three ordinary people who listen to the case and reach a conclusion. If some publicans paid €2,000, as required by the anonymous person, they obviously did not want to put their case despite the fact that there was a forum in which they could do so. I am sure the Minister will confirm that these tribunals do not take place in Dublin, but in a venues convenient to the parties concerned. This is a trouble-free approach.
