‘Test buyers’ call to expose off-licences
The 210 temporary closure orders were issued in the period from 2003 up to the end of April this year, and were issued under the Intoxicating Liquor Acts for offences relating to the sale and supply of alcohol to, and consumption by, persons under 18.
The former head of the government-appointed Alcohol Advisory Group, Dr Gordon Holmes, renewed his call for test buyers, claiming it would act as “a deterrent” to those in the industry.
