Irish Legislative Context
UK Legislation Covered: Licensing Act 2003 (England and Wales) - Personal Licences, Premises Licences, four licensing objectives
Irish Equivalent: In Ireland, the sale of alcohol is governed by the Intoxicating Liquor Acts 1927 - 2008 and the Registration of Clubs Acts. Licences are granted by the District Court. Ireland does not use the UK concepts of 'Personal Licences' or 'four licensing objectives'. The Irish system requires a court-granted licence for each premises.
Phoenix STS delivers training under both Irish and UK regulatory frameworks. If you require guidance on which legislation applies to your organisation, contact us on 043 334 9611.
