DUBLIN'S DRINK SHOPS.
MAXY TO BE CLOSED DOWX
. The Free State Courts are now engaged in lessening the number of the drink shops. By an act of the Dail the question whether there are in any district too many drink shops is left to the decision of the law courts. The police give evidence as to the houses they think should be suppressed, a magistrate judges their representations and the matter finally goes to a circuit judge.
The extension of licenses depends not on the fact that a house sells too much drink, but that it sells too little, the idea being to preserve only houses \\hieh can prove that they are satisfying a real public need.
