It is reasonable because otherwise life would be nearly impossible for publicans, particularly those with families, who perhaps leave a son or daughter in charge of the house, which is attached to the premises, for an hour or two during the day. This type of thing happens in my area and one must be reasonable about such cases. For instance, if a garda came in and saw a young person of 15 or so serving or looking after the premises for half an hour, he or she could be guilty of an offence.
