Garda probe after TV crew films underage drink sales

GARDAÍ are expected tocarry out an investigation into four off-licences and two supermarket chains after a television programme captured them delivering alcohol to underage drinkers at their homes.

Last Thursday’s Prime Time on RTÉ showed that none of the businesses – all located in Swords, north Dublin – asked for identification from the purchasers at delivery.

The people working for the off-licences took cash on delivery, while the supermarkets, Tesco and Superquinn, took payment via debit card online at point of ordering.
