Ennis welcomes change in pub opening hours law

Sinn Féin MLA Sinéad Ennis has welcomed the passing of legislation to modernise pub opening hours.

The South Down MLA said:

“It’s great news that legislation to modernise pub opening hours has passed its final stage in the Assembly today.

“This will bring our pub opening times into the 21st century particular through modernising Easter opening times for the first time.

“Pubs and nightclubs will also be able to serve alcohol until 2am and stay open until 3am and a Sunday night will have the same hours as any other night.

“This is welcome news for publicans, and I hope this change will help bring life back to our city and town centres.

“I commend Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey for her work to deliver this major change in the law.”

I was delighted to join with the largest team of Sinn Féin TDs in over one hundred years at Leinster House.

With Sinn Féin’s increased representation in the Dáil, the Assembly, Brussels, and in London we are a force for real and positive change across Ireland.

Families have waited far too long for truth and justice, and they shouldn’t endure further delays.

The Labour government must end its delay and fully deliver on their pre-election commitment to repeal and replace the Legacy Act, returning to the principles of the Stormont House…

Sinn Féin in the Executive has secured a 5% pay rise & a £1,500 one-off payment for NI Water workers.

Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd & Finance Minister Caoimhe Archibald worked to deliver this offer.

Ensuring public sector workers have fair pay is a priority for Sinn Féin
