    Loads of places have signs saying over 21 and over 23

    Some nightclubs, 1 in Dundalk 1 in Newry are both 21s on certain nights

    I was talking about shopd, OP makes mention of Spar. I know plenty of bars do that, but I've never seen it in shops.

    alright i think i cleared it up looking up the liquor act i found this makes intresting reading.


    If—


    (a) the holder of a licence or other authorisation which permits the sale of intoxicating liquor adopts a policy of refusing to supply intoxicating liquor to any person below a specified age which exceeds 18 years,


    (b) a notice setting out the policy is displayed in a conspicuous place in or on the exterior of the premises, and


    (c) the policy is implemented in good faith,


    a refusal to serve intoxicating liquor to such a person shall not constitute discrimination on the age ground
    bollox it doesn't constitute age discrimination, that's exactly what it is and legalised too. :mad:
    how is it 'good faith' in any way?
    what if it were reversed and they refused to serve anyone over 35, there's be outrage in the media over it

    Not sure about 16 for skins,I think all tobacco related Products are over 18,just last week a neighbor of mine sent her 17 year old son down for skins and was refused in two different shops....
    I could be wrong ,does anybody know for sure what the legalities are for the likes of skins and filters?


    Just found the answer here. http://www.showmeid.ie/faqs.htm so it's defo over 18 for skins and the like.

    so therefore telling people its over 21s they are discriminating against my age

    Nope, they really mean they don't want YOU in their establishment, they can legally let in anyone from 18 onwards. They are using their internal rules to keep YOU out of their premises

    I didn't read the whole thread but I have come into this "age card" thing even into my 30s. The age card is basically just the "drink card".

    I think licenses to sell alcohol shouldn't be given to people unless they agree not to have a "over-25s" or whatever age policy. When people turn 18, they have just as many rights as other adults. I'm saying this as a 32 year old.
