Belfast pubs and other licensed premises should see drink spike testing kits introduced onto their premises by next year, after a council motion was passed at City Hall.
At Belfast City Council ’s Licensing Committee this week, elected representatives unanimously agreed to an Alliance motion by Councillor Micky Murray.
It states: “This council, in a bid to make our night-time economy a safer place, will work with licensed premises to introduce drink spike testing kits into their premises. This will include training for staff on how to administer the kits, what to do in the event of a positive result, and promotional material promoting how customers can access the kits.”
