Drink awareness campaigners from Alcohol Action Ireland have warned “people will die” if new relaxed licensing laws are passed by the Government.
Ministers have already given the green light to Justice Minister, Helen McEntee, to press ahead with reforms of the system that could see drinking until six in the morning and the end of a cap on licence numbers.
It would also see a new streamlined bar licence which would allow regular pubs open until 12:30 every night, seven days a week.
