Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 February 2012
150 Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if there is legislation that permits nightclubs to serve alcohol in glasses; and if this legislation also applies to sporting events and festivals at which alcohol is usually provided in a plastic cup. [5847/12]
View answerThe position is that neither the Licensing Acts 1833 to 2011 nor the Metrology Acts 1980 to 1996 regulate the type of containers in which alcohol is sold or supplied. Health and safety concerns may, however, have a bearing on the type of containers used for this purpose in certain situations.
