214. Deputy John Clendennen asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration whether the Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2024 and associated Sale of Alcohol Bill 2022 as mentioned in the Spring 2026 Government Legislation Programme will be prioritised in the next Government Legislation Programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23034/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Programme for Government commits to updating our licensing laws and in keeping with that commitment, the legislation will be advanced in due course.
As the Deputy is aware, the publication of the Spring Legislative Programme, on 13 January, set out the 30 Bills that have been prioritised for publication, and 34 Bills for drafting, in the current Dáil session. Other legislative projects, including work on intoxicating liquor legislation, as the Deputy will appreciate, will be taken forward in subsequent iterations of the legislative programme, to be determined by Government in due course.
