Jim O'Callaghan, Minister for Justice: I propose to take Questions Nos. 631, 632, 635, 639, 640, 645, 685, 692 and 694 together.

I understand that many sports stadiums operating under various sporting codes have existing licences which permit the sale of alcohol. I am not aware of any particular issues arising with respect to the facilities referred to by the Deputy. The Programme for Government commits to updating our licensing laws, with the specific provisions to be considered as part of the Government’s Legislative Programme in due course.
