NI tourism 'being hit by drink laws'.
(From Belfast Telegraph)
Byline: Claire Regan
Tourism is being hit by delays to reform Northern Ireland's licensing laws which could enable later pub opening hours, leading voices in the drinks trade said last night.
An overall review of the laws was announced in March 2004 but will not be completed until late autumn.
At present, bars and night clubs can serve alcohol until 11pm (10pm on Sundays), after which customers are allowed half an hour to finish their drink.
With a late licence, last orders can be extended until 1am (midnight on Sunday), with 30 minutes of drinking up time.
Critics say the current set-up leads to an increased risk of disorder at 1.30am, when crowds spill on to the streets.
