Alcohol sold to minors in Cork city garda sting
According to Supt Con Cadogan, who is in charge of policing the Gurranabraher Garda District, which includes a large part of the northside of the city as well as Blarney and Ballincollig, gardaí carried out test purchases at 13 off-licences between last June and December and found that six of them readily sold alcohol to an underage person.
The minors were accompanied by a plainclothes detective on the operation and the breaches of the law were described by the senior garda as “quite frightening”.
