I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of off-licences that have been granted in the postal districts of Dublin 6W, 8, 10, and 12 in each of the past three years are as follows:
Postal District | Year ending 30/09/2005 | Year ending 30/09/2006 | Year ending 30/09/2007 |
Dublin 6W | 12 | 12 | 15 |
Dublin 8 | 32 | 39 | 44 |
Dublin 10 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
Dublin 12 | 30 | 34 | 34 |
The above figures include the renewal of existing licences and the issuance of new licences.
The question of off-licences was among the issues considered by the Government Alcohol Advisory Group appointed by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The Group has now reported and the legislative proposals arising from the work of the Group were published recently.
