Refreshment Houses (Ireland) Act, 1860

Justices may adjudge premises disqualified for sale of wine for three years on proof that within two years last preceding conviction two convictions have taken place.

33. It shall be lawful for any such justice or justices before whom any person holding a licence under this Act for the sale of wine by retail shall be convicted of any offence against the tenor of the said licence, or for which any penalty is imposed by this Act, if proof shall be adduced to their satisfaction that within two years last preceding such conviction two convictions for any such offence of the same person, or of any other person licensed in respect of the same house or premises, have taken place, to declare the licence granted in respect of the said house or premises forfeited and void, and to adjudge that no licence for the sale of wine shall be granted to any person whatever in respect of the said house or premises for the term of three years from the date of such adjudication, of which adjudication the justice or justices shall give notice to the supervisor of Excise; and any licence for the sale of wine that may be granted in respect of the said house or premises during the said term of three years shall be null and void.
