Seanad debates

Tuesday, 3 December 2002

I know of no publican who would serve alcoholic drink to children aged 13, 14 or 15 years. However, they are quite freely buying supplies in an off-licence or supermarket and getting drunk on the streets. Publicans are being wrongly blamed for this. While there may a few black sheep in the licensed trade, publicans in Dublin and elsewhere in the country were as shocked as I was by the scenes shown on the programme in question. The sooner the Garda clamps down on those serving alcohol in such circumstances, the better.
