Later bar openings in the autumn have moved a step closer as plans for new extended Nitelink routes to transport revellers have been flagged by Transport Minister Eamon Ryan.
Mr Ryan’s intervention came after Justice Minister Helen McEntee revealed that she will soon be introducing extended bar and nightclub opening hours to help kickstart the night-time economy.
The new Sale of Alcohol Bill is scheduled to be brought before Cabinet as soon as next month, with the new later opening hours kicking in shortly after the Bill is signed.
