Justice Minister Helen McEntee intends to enact the bill in 2023
Nightclubs will be allowed to stay open until 6am, and pubs will be permitted longer operating hours, under new laws to be approved by Cabinet today.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee will seek approval for the General Scheme of the Sale of Alcohol Bill to modernise Ireland's 200-year-old licencing laws.
As well as extending nightclub hours, pubs will be allowed to stay open to 12.30am every day, while late bars can operate to 2.30am daily.
The changes will bring an end to early closing on Sundays.
The minister intends to enact the bill in 2023.
If you've ever been partying into the wee hours in Berlin or other European cities, that's the model the Cabinet wants to adopt.
Nightclubs will be allowed to stay open until 6am, but will have to stop serving at 5.
Pubs and clubs will still be able to apply for a 2.30am late licence.
The conditions for a late bar and nightclub permit include a requirement to have CCTV on the premises and have security staff properly accredited with the Private Security Authority.
