Rejected petition Get The off licences open in Northern Ireland
Rejected on
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 was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
