Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with Civic Society Representatives and Focus Groups

11:00 am

Mr. Peter O'Brien:

Mr. Donall O'Keeffe can speak for publicans, but the pub is, clearly, a regulated environment. An off-licence is also a regulated environment, in that professional people are serving there. The difference is that the product is consumed in the regulated environment of a pub, with appropriate and trained staff. It is, clearly, different if the customer takes the product home. That is true.
