The applicant will need a Court Certificate for a Wholesale Beer Dealer’s Licence.  

The licensing period is from 1 July to 30 June. These licences will expire on 30 June each year regardless of the issue date.

The cost of each licence is €500. For example, a Wholesale Dealer in Beer costs €500. A Wholesale Dealer in Beer and Spirits costs €1000.

Where you have combined both Wholesale Dealer’s and Retailer’s Off Licences, the Retailer’s Off Licence(s) will also expire on 30 June.
