We the undersigned, are calling on Minster FOr justice Dermot Ahern, and the licensing dept., to grant special exemption licences for Sunday March 15th.

Its our national festival weekend.

Most People will be off on Monday 16th.

Under the current legislation, ALL bars and clubs will have to close at 1am.

What message are we sending to the thousands of overseas visitors that will visit Ireland that week.

What message are the government trying to send out to responsible adults that live here that want to go out on sundays nights.

In a time of recession its seems incredibly irresponsible of the government to ignore a proven revenue stream, and to put thousands of hospitality staffs' jobs at risk.

OPEN ALL CLUBS UNTIL 2.30AM
