Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of renewed alcohol licences in the off-trade and on-trade for the calendar years in question is set out in the table. As the licencing year is 1 October to 30 September, the figures supplied for 2013 are inclusive of licences which remain valid until 30 September 2014. The Deputy may wish to note that a list of current valid Liquor Licences renewed for 2013/2014 (in accordance with relevant legislation) is publicly available and regularly updates on the Revenue Commissioners website at http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/excise/excise-licensing/renewed-liquor-licence-register.pdf.
