Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Business Closures and Job Losses: Discussion with National Off-Licence Association

2:00 pm

Mr. Terry Pennington:

I will quickly allow Ms Smith to speak so that I do not take over. Yes, we supply all channels. The route to market we use is an importer - sadly, not Ms Smith but somebody very similar - an indigenous Irish business which takes the cases and redistributes them into the market, to restaurants, hotels, bars, specialist wine shops and big retailers.
