Justice minister promises action on licencing law to facilitate outdoor hospitality 'if necessary'Questions have been raised about the legality of selling alcohol to customers in on-street seating. Usual dysfunctional clarity from government again and again... Taoiseach says one thing ...Varadkar says different ...Coveney half says things just to put a word in ...same with NPHET.. Headless corrupt dysfunctional vindictive government. What does she mean 'if necessary'? Has she forgotten she is part of the government who told us that our summer will be outdoors? This whole thing is becoming a frigging joke. Wait till the foreign media get hold of it. Want to sit on a stool on a footpath to eat and drink? No thanks!!
