The number of proceedings commenced and convictions under section 31 of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 1988 are set out in the following table. Comparable statistics for 2001 are unavailable as they were not compiled on PULSE and could only be obtained through the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of Garda time and resources.
