Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I support Senator Bacik's views, particularly in regard to amendment No. 9. The objective is to give the power to the court to extend a licence on occasion. We already had the discussion about premises closing at the same time. What will happen if the amendment is not accepted appears heavy-handed. The amendment is worthy of support because of the case Senator Bacik made and I urge the Minister of State to accept it.
