There is a problem with food outlets because we are dealing with people who have come from licensed premises to buy chips. It will be extremely difficult for the owner of the chip shop to be responsible for the behaviour of those outside. If he sees an incident occurring, what can he do? He can ring the Garda and report the public disorder, but that is all. If there is public disorder, however, outside the licensed premises caused by those who have been served too much drink, I fully agree that the licensed premises manager should be held responsible. How can the manager or owner of the chip shop be held responsible for the misbehaviour of the drunk who came from the pub? The Minister should revisit the provisions for food premises before Report Stage.
