Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

General Scheme of Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Donall O'Keeffe:

There are 7,300 pubs and 1,000 hotels in the country, amounting to 8,300 individual businesses. If we let them loose, there will be 8,300 interpretations and an enforcement authority that may have a different interpretation again. It seems like common sense to have a standard template to be agreed by the Department of Health that would make it mandatory for all businesses.
