Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 September 2004
203 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will report on the enforcement of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2000, in respect of underage drinking; the number of prosecutions in this regard; the outcomes in this regard; and the breakdown of these figures for each Garda division and for each year since the inception of the Act. [23113/04]
View answerI have made inquiries with the Garda authorities and figures covering the period July 2000 to 31 August 2004 are as outlined in the table. I am arranging for the figures to be set out by year and will forward these to the Deputy when they are available. In so far as the figures reflect statistics for 2003 and 2004 they are provisional.
