More than 5,000 people have made submissions on plans to overhaul Ireland’s liquor licencing laws amid renewed hope of a resurgence of the nightclub sector.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee opened a public consultation on the modernisation of licensing laws last November, saying she wanted to gauge public opinion on the opening hours of nightclubs and late bars, and the regulation of online and delivery sales.
