One third of pubs and off-licences targeted in undercover purchase operations were caught selling alcohol to children.
The outlets face prosecution and possible closure orders and/or fines.
The crackdown began in October 2010 after the Government brought in a scheme enabling gardaí to use children in undercover operations.
The first set of figures on the scheme, supplied to the Irish Examiner, show that 119 premises were targeted up to October 2011 — and offences were detected in 41 of them.
