I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that Exchequer returns from the alcohol drinks sector are not captured in such a way as to be able to identify and measure the effect of the changes to the licensing laws, under the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2008, as distinct from the effects of other market factors on customer demand. It is not possible therefore to provide the information requested by the Deputy.
