Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the number of alcohol test purchase inspections by gardaí within the R district of DMR carried out in supermarkets, bars and clubs in 2023 to ensure they are in full compliance with Alcohol Licensing Regulations; and the number of premises that were found in breach of such legislation, in tabular form.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including all operational policing matters. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that during 2023 there were no reported incidents of ‘Test Purchasing of Intoxicating Liquor’ within the DMR R district.
I am informed that the above information is based on a search of the PULSE database. Information is operational and subject to change.
