A pub near Celtic Park used by fans on match days can now let children in — despite health chiefs’ concerns over “exposure” to alcohol.
“We respectfully suggest this is not a suitable environment for children and young persons and is inconsistent with the licensing objective of protecting children and young persons from harm.”
He said a small room in the pub, which mainly opens on match days, has been identified, with its own entrance, so children aren’t in the main bar. Mr McGowan said the HSCP had made a “sweeping statement” about football pubs which “doesn’t seem to be supported by any evidence of harm in relation to these premises”.
The lawyer said other premises nearby were “of a similar nature” with one allowing under 18s on match days.
