The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

Shutting nightclubs even earlier

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Monday September 27, 2004 02:24author by pc Report this post to the editors

people behave themselves before 2am?

A clampdown on Dublin's niteclubs is on the way. The move, which is set to come into effect on Wednesday, will force all niteclubs to close 1.30am. Ireland's EUR500 million nightclub industry, which employes more than 2,000 people in Dublin alone, is planning to mount a campaign to oppose it.

Apparently last time the Irish Nightclubs Industry Association negotiated and compromised? on losing 30 minutes. I don't see what impact on public disorder that had and what closing another 30 mins earlier would do?

Putting the time of nightclubs and bars closing time even closer together will devastate nightclubs

Extract (4.3.11)

The Garda?

4.3.11 The Garda? or more specifically the local Garda superintendent
could be entrusted with power of setting the permitted hours of
trading in the area in question. While one might expect public order
and criminality consideration to be paramount in the Garda approach,
we do not consider that these are the only considerations and
consequently do not think it would be right to entrust such an
important power over local business interests to the Garda?.


Note the last few lines.

(cribbed from ie-dance) What can be done about it?
