Responsibility for issuing public dance, public music and singing licences lies with the Courts Service, as does the collection of the appropriate Excise Duty fees, which are then returned to Revenue.

Information on the Excise Duty returned to Revenue is published at link: www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/receipts-volume-and-price/excise-receipts-commodity.aspx.

The licence category ‘Excise Duty on Premises or Activities - Public Dancing Licences, etc’in this publication includes public dance licences. Information in relation to public music and singing is not separately available due to the way licences are categorised.
