Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2025-05-08
============================================================

Paul Lawless (AON), Mayo

He has an important seat at Cabinet. I understand he is the Minister for Justice but he is at Cabinet and this is a significant issue. It is going to hurt many businesses across Mayo if it is not addressed. I welcome the proposal around the outdoor seating and its extension. It is a common sense, practical solution but placing rates on new facilities or new seating is not acceptable. I ask the Minister to consider working with the local authorities on that.
