I have been informed by the Garda authorities that local Garda management is currently not aware of problems relating to illegal drug use or drug dealing in the licensed premises referred to by the Deputy.

However, the Garda authorities have assured me that as part of 'Operation Fossil', which involves Gardaí from Divisional and District Drug Units liaising with personnel from the Garda National Drug Unit in targeting the misuse of drugs in public houses, this alleged activity will be thoroughly investigated and appropriate action taken.
