Key points
- References to the "Dublin Metropolitan District" in the Licensing Acts, 1833 to 1977, and the Registration of Clubs Acts, 1904 to 1962, are now understood to mean the district court district known as the Dublin Metropolitan District as of the commencement of the Intoxicating Liquor Act, 1962.
- This Act is to be read as one with the Licensing Acts, 1833 to 1977, and together they can be called the Licensing Acts, 1833 to 1981.
- This Act is also to be read as one with the Registration of Clubs Acts, 1904 to 1962, and together they can be called the Registration of Clubs Acts, 1904 to 1981.
