Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
One advantage of the under age closure and this closure is that they work without a garda ever knocking on the door of a premises in advance, so there is a deterrent in place. It signals to the licensed trade, their customers and employees that this is serious and is hanging over everyone's head. If it were totally disproportionate a District Court judge would be able to resort to the Probation Act.
