551. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when he expects amendments regarding certain licensing laws affecting supermarkets to come into effect.
Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter): The position is that section 9 of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2008 provides for the structural separation of alcohol from other goods in supermarkets, convenience stores and similar outlets. However, during the period leading up to enactment of the 2008 Act, bodies representing the mixed trading sector proposed implementation of a voluntary code of practice with an independent audit and oversight mechanism as an alternative to section 9. A code of practice was subsequently drawn up and agreed between the Departments of Health and Children, Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the mixed trading sector.
