When discussing the liquor licensing laws recently we may have forgotten the effect of the legislation on youth clubs and sports clubs which wish to organise discos and, in particular, the No Name Club, a national body based in Kilkenny, which organises discos where no alcohol is served. It should be possible to allow these discos to continue by closing down a bar where no alcoholic drinks would be served. Young people would still have the buzz and the atmosphere of the disco. Under the current legislation, there is a difficulty for organisations such as the No Name club in holding a disco. This issue should be examined. I understand the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform is favourably disposed towards making a slight change in the law to allow those discos to continue. When the Minister comes into the House, I ask that we debate this issue also.
