Court data in respect of alcohol licence applications in Northern Ireland are recorded by petty sessions district. Similar information was sought last year and published on 9 October. One application refused in Craigavon in 2001 was omitted from the answer provided then. The following table corrects this mistake and shows the number of alcohol licence applications granted and refused in each of the last six years for each petty sessions district.
