Licensing law changes that will allow nightclubs to open until 6am and pubs to open until 12.30am will not be ready by Christmas party season this year, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has confirmed to thejournal_ie
THE LICENSING LAW changes that will allow nightclubs to open until 6am and pubs to open until 12.30am will not be ready by Christmas party season this year, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has confirmed to The Journal. The Government had promised late night pub and club openings would be in operation by this summer, but the legislation has faced significant delays.
Summer 2024 “I think it’s unlikely to be the case for Christmas, you know, that would mean getting the legislation published and enacted before Christmas and even when it is enacted, it’s the whole licensing system that has to be gone through… I can say, it would not be the case that those laws will be in place for this Christmas.” But I would hope they can be in place for next summer.
McEntee said the bill is “very lengthy”, with 500 heads to the bill. Heads of a bill is a document which sets out the main objectives, headings and provisions of a proposed bill. Some of the current licensing laws date back to the 19th century, while two-thirds of the laws predate the foundation of the State 101 years ago.
