Irish Nightclub Petition

[H3lx]

could be time tho to use the momentum from this to try and do something regarding the fact that the cops are the ones with the final say over closing times in this kip of a country

These reports are encouraging but are in effect deflating the campaign against the Garda proposal. NOTHING has been decided as of this moment, and the word of Robbie Fox [nightclub owner] should not be taken as gospel. We'll know more later this evening, but for the minute everything should be viewed as it stood when this Garda proposal was first leaked. The Gardai may easily still be in court with this tomorrow.

This is probably one of the most positive things I have seen in a while ( the petition, not the close early) as there have been many debates about the state of club life in ireland in recent years and the rise of free parties to try and keep clubbing alive but this is not feasible during the winter months.

But I wonder how long it will be until they bring the law into force, the only real successful way I could see of people really making ( not taking anything away from the petition but a continuation of the petition ) would be to run for office and with as many signatures on the petition you would get elected.

Nice one Sunil, keep up the good work

Nice one Dez.

Yeah, well I was apprehensive about jumping the gun earlier but we have now got pretty solid confirmation that the Gardai will not be contesting the late licenses in court tomorrow, which is obviously a good thing :)

I don't think the Gardai thought through their position very well, and have now retreated to consider it I guess. Will know more over the next few days, for now it looks like we've got a result. Only time will tell how much and how far we can take our own ideas regarding licensing and opening hours, but it's gonna be an interesting time ahead one way or another.

Thanks to anyone out there who signed the petition, we really appreciate it, it stands out the fact many of you guys made it your business to help out and lend yourself to the cause even though it didn't directly affect you.. Respect :clap:

Cheers,

Sunil
