Gardaí probe alcohol sales to minors

Eight Limerick pubs and off-licences were found selling alcohol to under- aged persons in a Garda operation carried out over the first nine months of this year.

Chief Superintendent David Sheahan yesterday told a meeting of the County Limerick Joint Policing Committee (JPC) that 29 licensed premises were visited and eight were found breaking the law.

During each visit a young person, accompanied by an adult, went to buy alcohol.
