Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2002: Committee Stage.

These outlets do not sell drink so they are not responsible for the individual becoming intoxicated. Why should the owner of a takeaway, for instance, be held responsible for the misbehaviour of somebody who is under the influence of alcohol as a result of taking drink in a licensed premises? It will be extremely difficult to oblige the owners of food premises to be responsible for the misbehaviour of people outside their premises.
