I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the statistics provided below relate to Liquor Licences issued for the sale of liquor in the state up to 30th September 2012. “Off” Licences are issued either singularly such as “Wine Retailer’s Off Licence” or in combinations such as Spirits and/or beer, and/or wine. “Off” licences can also be issued in combination with Wholesale Dealer licences. Therefore, the figures below reflect the actual number of each category of licence issued during the last licensing year (1st October 2011 to 30th September 2012) and cannot be taken to reflect either numbers of licensees or premises. Other licensed premises such as Private Member Clubs are dealt with by the District Courts and are not the subject of Revenue record.
