Deputy Michael Lowry
It is generally accepted that the present system is not working says Tipperary Independent TD
Tipperary Independent Deputy Michael Lowry says that he anticipates a more equitable and fair system to be proposed for pubs across the country at the end of this month.
The issue of pubs was discussed at the recent Cabinet Meeting in relation to the permitted opening of food serving pubs as opposed to ‘wet’ pubs.
"It is now generally accepted that the present system is not working effectively. The current regulations leave many pubs, particularly rural pubs, at a huge disadvantage. The entire operation of Licenced premises will now be reviewed and further decision will be made at Cabinet level at the end of August," Deputy Lowry said.
