Áine Collins Cork North West Fine Gael Candidate

Attention Evelyn Jones.
Chairperson

Dear Ms Jones.

Further to your letter of the 15th February please find my response below:

In relation to Point 1, the Fine Gael position is that under-cost selling by
the large retailers is wrong and especially harmful to young people or those
who may be influenced by strong marketing messages.

With regard to Point 2 we believe that you should be allowed to open until
12 midnight.

Point 3 and the issue around Section 16, Fine Gael will absolutely support
the completion of Section 16.  We as a party acknowledge the importance of
responsible retailing of alcohol.

Yours Sincerely,


Áine Collins

County Cork.

Paul Doonan Cork South West Candidate

Greetings Evelyn,

Thanks for your letter which I received today.

In my opinion the off licence trade was the victim of a badly thought out, knee jerk reaction, piece of legislation.

The new hours for opening times of off licences make no logical sense at all.

Your industry must however make more of a visible and concerted effort to ensure sales to minors or for minors does not occur.

If elected I would be happy to pursue getting section 16 of the liquor bill 2008 signed and enacted.

NewVision.ie Independent alliance candidates first priority is to separate bank debt and sovereign debt in order to avoid the threat of state bankruptcy

Please consider New Vision Independent candidates for your highest preferences.

Thanks and regards,

Paul Doonan

Dear Ms. Jones,
Just a short note to confirm my support for the signing of Section 16 of The Liquor Bill
of June 2008 banning the use of alcohol as a promotional tool in advertising.
If elected I will pursue this matter on your behalf and seek a review of the opening hours
which should coincide with pub opening hours.
Yours sincerely,
Colm McGrath
Independent.

 Dear Ms. Jones, 

Firstly let.me apologise for the delay in writing back to you but I have been extremely busy with
canvassing and catching up on correspondence.
In response to your letter dated 15 February 2011, this is my answer on this subject.

If elected, as an Independent, I would seek to reverse the Bill introduced by former Minister Dermot Aherne.I  was actually shocked to see this bill go through in the first place

All it achieved was a further attack on local businesses and their viability. In fact,
been taking steps backwards modem Ireland has in my opinion. 

I am aware that not everyone fits into the 9-5 slot with regards to working hours.

 In response to section 3 of your letter, I would advocate that the new Minister for Justice signs Section16 of the Liquor Bill of June 2008.

 I am answering your letter based on my own viewpoint and not for populist reasons

You can see what I am all about on  my website  www.eamonnzaidan.ie

Kind regards

Eamonn

Dear Evelyn,
Thanks for your letter dated 15 February 2011 on behalf  of  the members of the National
Off-Licence Association highlighting various issues. 

I will be having a debate with other candidatesof CorkNorth-Central on the 21st of this month with Cork FM 96, which will be broadcast on Wednesday at 10 am.

I will be asking any of them irrespective of any political party that when elected,· 

.They must pressure the government in power to extend off-licence opening time· to 11.30 pm.

Secondly, there should be legislation preventing supermarket from selling alcohol· below the market price .
Thirdly Section 16 of the Liquor Bill of June 2008 should be signed and enacted without
 any-delay.
I believed that any thing that can help prevent further job loss and creation of new ones
should be encourage, as this is the only way we can get out of recession.

Benjamin Ashu Ashu-Arrah, AMRSC.
