Deputy Ó Snodaigh links it to a licensed premises. His amendment reads: "Any person other than a licensee who takes intoxicating liquor from a licensed premise for the purpose of its being sold on the account". It is linked to the licensed premises. Under existing legislation a licensee would be prosecutable in that instance. Going on the recommendations of the report, the advisory group has asked that the Garda Síochána examine this and it should be given some time. I will return to it. Licensees may not be aware of what is happening in some instances and we can re-examine that. I will take advice from the Garda Síochána.
