As the Deputy is aware, section 19 of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2000 made provision for the upgrading of restricted licences, including six-day licences, under certain conditions, including a specific condition that applications to the Revenue Commissioners for such upgrading be made within one year of the entry into force of the Act.

Notwithstanding that upgrading scheme, I understand that, for whatever reason, a very small number of restricted licences remain in existence. The position is, therefore, that a further upgrading scheme to deal with the residue of restricted licences remains to be considered in the context of future updating of the liquor licensing code.
