| Subject: Irish entrapment: poLICE to send "test" youths to pubs Thu Sep 23, 2010 3:14 am | |
| Ireland plans to allow police to send "test" youths to pubs from next month to check if landlords abide by laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to those under 18, Justice Minister Dermot Ahern said on Tuesday.
Faced with one of Europe's worst binge drinking cultures which usually starts in teenage years, police will be authorized from October 1 to get permission from parents to train and send young people aged 15-17 to licensed premises.
If any alcohol is sold to the minors, the pub will be prosecuted and face fines or closure for a period.
