I have no political affiliation in Ireland and its a bit late now but i saw this which of interest. We can only hope the new govt considers something similar... because there's not a lot else for them to worry about!!
I do love me a tap room but only being able to sell your own wares is quite restrictive. Its quite normal for tap rooms to have a guest cider for those that don't drink beer) but i suppose it would be better than nothing

Yeah, but they're a little to the right of Atilla the hun..... whatever floats yer boat.

Well having read the pdf I think its a very well put together piece of logical argument in support of craft brewerys and what they NEED in return from goverment to achieve ongoing success.
I will be sending the pdf to our North County elected reps as a suggestion for THEIR parties to take on board a policy to support Irish craft brewers.
I could not have expressed the arguments so succinctly!

They never got a chance to fix the roads
Renua had a couple of good ideas hidden beneath their mainly regressive nonsense. It'd be nice if some other parties could pick up on this now.
Just read it. This bit:
The HSE, Revenue and Local Authority interpretation of the regulations varies greatly from region to region
