The Deputy will be aware that the issue of alcohol consumption by children is of utmost concern to all relevant Departments and agencies, as well as An Garda Síochána.
There are statutory provisions in place relating to the sale and the consumption of intoxicating liquor by persons under the age of 18 years. It is an offence under the Intoxicating Liquor Acts for a licensee to sell or deliver, or to permit any other person to sell or deliver, alcohol products to any person for consumption off his or her licensed premises by a person under the age of 18 years, in any place except with the explicit consent of the person's parent or guardian in a private residence in which he or she is present either as of right or with permission.
As the Deputy is aware, enforcement of the licensing laws is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
Any proposed amendment of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 would be a matter for the Minister for Health.
