Text

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as an fhreagra sin.
Minister, businesses have been waiting for the reform of outdated licensing legislation, including of the surrender principle, for some time. With the mandate running out, can you explain why your Department has still not brought legislation before the Assembly and whether you intend to do so before the end of the mandate?
