Extension to increase opening hours of hotels, night clubs.

Síneadh le cur le huaireanta oscailte tithe ósta, clubanna oíche.

The opening hours of pubs and nightclubs in the country will be extended, according to amendments to the licensing system that the Government accepted today.

Cuirfear síneadh le huaireanta oscailte thithe tábhairne agus chlubanna oíche na tíre, de réir leasuithe ar an gcóras ceadúnaithe ar ghlac an Rialtas leo inniu.

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee proposed to her councilors to allow pubs to open from 10.30 in the morning until 12.30 in the morning the following day.

Mhol an tAire Dlí agus Cirt Helen McEntee dá comhairí cead a thabhairt do thithe tábhairne oscailt óna 10.30 ar maidin go dtí 12.30 ar maidin lá arna mhárach.

It was also proposed to allow night clubs to stay open until 6 o'clock in the morning but not to sell any alcoholic beverages after 5 o'clock.

Moladh freisin cead a thabhairt do chlubanna oíche fanacht ar oscailt go dtí 6 a chlog ar maidin ach gan aon deoch mheisciúil a dhíol tar éis 5 a chlog.

There will be no change to the hours of pubs that have a special license to stay open until 2.30 in the morning.

Ní dhéanfar aon athrú ar uaireanta tithe tábhairne a bhfuil ceadúnas speisialta acu fanacht ar oscailt go dtí 2.30 ar maidin.

However, those pubs - and nightclubs - will be required to have security cameras and fully accredited security staff.

Mar sin féin, beidh ar na tithe tábhairne sin - agus ar chlubanna oíche - ceamaraí slándála agus foireann slándála lánchreidiúnaithe a bheith acu.

They will have to submit an application for a license to the courts in the first instance.

Beidh orthu ar an gcéad ásc iarratas ar cheadúnas a chur faoi bhráid na gcúirteanna.

However, the local community, the Garda Síochána, the fire services, the local authorities and the Health Service Executive may object to the licence.

Féadfaidh an pobal áitiúil, an Garda Síochána, na seirbhísí dóiteáin, na húdaráis áitiúla agus Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte cur in aghaidh an cheadúnais, áfach.

The new laws are expected to come into effect next year.

Meastar go dtiocfaidh feidhm leis na dlíthe nua an bhliain seo chugainn.

The Night Clubs Association has welcomed the amendments.

Tá fáilte curtha ag an gCumann Clubanna Oíche roimh na leasuithe.

According to them they will help them a lot to keep nightclubs in business and businesses like the ones in the narrow area at the moment.

Dar leo go gcuideoidh siad go mór leo clubanna oíche a choinneáil i mbun gnó agus gnóthais mar iad sa chúngach faoi láthair.
