Get The off licences open in Northern Ireland
Rejected
13 signatures
What the petition asks
Off sales establishments in Northern Ireland need to be recognised as essential services.
The rest of the UK and the Republic of Ireland recognise the benefit of alcohol to the population in this time of stress. Please extend the same comfort to those social distancing in NI.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.
