Ms Evelyn Jones:

The legal ID for off-licences is the Garda age card. That is the only acceptable form of ID that off-licences can use. If one were to deliver alcohol one would have to check the ID at the door. It is not a practice that we recommend.

Home delivery is micromanaged. If one has a regular customer, and he or she telephones to order six bottles of wine that is a different proposition because one would have dealt with them and know them from being in the shop. If somebody telephoned blind asking if the off-licence delivers we would not agree to that. Perhaps my colleague will add to that.
