The first is the everyday expression: 'This is not the time and place to raise the matter'.

A second definite article might be used either for emphasis, or where both the time and the place have individual significance.

E.g. Parent to child: 'Two o'clock in the morning, when staying in someone else's house, is neither the time, nor the place to do your brass-band trumpet practice.'
