New Agreement Sees Nightclubs Close At 2am |
|
A new measure, which came into effect at the weekend, will see nightclubs close at 2am.
It is aimed to develop a joint industry code of practice on drinks promotions.
Commenting on the new agreement, Colin Neil, Chief Executive of Pubs of Ulster, said: "Whilst we continue to work on improving the industry from within, we can only do so much within the confines of the current licensing laws in Northern Ireland. It is clear that the current laws need to be modernised to address not only late night opening, but also issues such as opening times at Easter. The first stage in achieving this however is proving that Northern Ireland has an industry that can act responsibly within the current licensing laws. Pubs of Ulster will continue to work with our members to address the issues at hand, whilst also working with the Minister for Social Development Nelson McCausland and Environment Minister Alex Attwood to develop a responsible way forward on licensing laws."
