CATHERINE SHERIDAN,
Madam, - A drinks promotion by a Dublin licensed premises has been the subject of recent media coverage. In its second interim report July, the Commission on Liquor Licensing condemned similar promotion practices which are targeted at young people and encourage excessive drinking.
Prior to the publication of the report, the commission strongly recommended to the Garda Commissioner that the renewal of licences for premises involved in such practices should be oppposed. The commission's views on the subject remain unchanged. - Yours, etc.,
CATHERINE SHERIDAN, Secretary to the Commission on Liquor Licensing, Clifton Mews, Fitzwilliam Street Lower Dublin 2.
