Question 272: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on proposals by an association (details supplied) to introduce a nightclub permit or allow for the payment of special exemption orders by direct debit in order to clear up paper trails and ease court time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am aware that proposals have been made by industry representatives for the introduction of a nightclub permit. However, I am not aware of any proposals to provide for the payment of special exemption order fees by direct debit. I assure the Deputy that the Courts Service will consider any proposal which would provide an opportunity to improve efficiency.
