Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that they are responsible for the administration of the issue or renewal of Public House Licences. Revenue may only facilitate the issue of a Publican's licence where the appropriate certificate has been issued by a District or Circuit Court, and therefore do not have the authority to revoke a licence once issued. As the authority to revoke a Public House Licence rests with the District or Circuit Court the Revenue Commissioners do not record the numbers of revocations in any particular period.
