I propose to take Questions Nos. 282 and 283 together.

The Sale of Alcohol Bill 2022 did not progress in the lifetime of the last government.

The Programme for Government commits to updating our licensing laws, and in line with this commitment, consideration will be given to legislation in respect of the sale of alcohol as part of the Government’s Legislative Programme in due course.

The Government's Autumn Legislative Programme, published on 17 September, sets out the Bills that are prioritised for publication and for drafting in the current Dáil session. Further elements of the Programme for Government will be advanced in future legislative programmes.
