Pre-Budget Submission 2011 12 years 3 months ago #1

On Friday last we sent in a formal request to the Revenue Commissioners and Department of Finance to reform the licensing and excise arrangements as they apply to microbrewies in Ireland.

More details on the submission, and a download link, are here[/url:12kgcle5].

Oddly enough, I had a similar idea recently, more regarding the barriers to entry that are created for the small brewer that gives the Macro a distinct advantage.

Perhaps a submission detailing how these may be somewhat cumbersome could also be developed, or perhaps there is no major issues (I don't know - I would just assume there is as this is where it usually begins....)

Regardless of the above - how can we row in and back this as a wider group?.

I have some ideas, and don't recommend Spamming politicians however, a few emails here and there as well as some written letters/Faxes may help.

I think perhaps we need to target this more appropriately - get it to the right people rather than Random Civil servants who would view such communication as irrelevant to them - as its not their job - thereby creating a nuisance and annoyance rather than expending efforts appropriately.

All suggestions and recommendations welcome.

Just to add to John's 'join Beoir' gentle persuasion- Beoir members have been discussing and debating this topic for a little while now and what John presented on the open forum was the result of that. However you have only just become aware of it because as a non-member you do not have access to the Beoir-Member only forum where the original discussion took place.

For all the Registered Members (not Beoir Members) here- it's only €10 a year; you are pretty much guaranteed free beer at some stage; and it makes the ideal Christmas present (tell your relatives/ask Santa).
