    I remember working in a bar prob 7 years ago.

    Some young wan came in to get a drink using birth cert for ID.

    It was like 2pm on a Tuesday..

    Bizarre

    As for the OP, even if you had ID most places wouldn't want you coming in. Too much risk of ending up drunk and crying in a corner with soiled jocks.

    I'm fairly sure I have no reason to be hated considering you're basing your discrimination on a stigma that's been placed on youth.

    I'm 25, can easily knock back 15 pints on a night. I know myself what young people are like.

    Just don't be an arrogant wankbag and start a fight if someone brushes off you.

    If the party is that vital to you, along with the seeming necessity to drink alcohol at said party, just wait until
    A. You get your Garda card. And
    B. There's a suitable weekend when all the people you want there are available.

    It's not rocket science.

    No need to thank me; it's all part of the service.

    Haven't read all of the thread, but assuming it's just "a night out", can't you just delay it until the I.D arrives ?

    You could actually get an emergency passport before then

    Your Garda card probably will get to you on time, it doesn't take that long

    All you helpful people were never 18 no?

    Try do what ShaSha says. Make sure you pick somewhere that your 18 year old friends have no problem getting into normally because not everywhere will let you in whether you're 18 or not. If it's a local late bar/pub instead of a city nightclub see if any of your younger relatives who would normally be patrons will go down for one or two and go in with them. Emergency passport is another option, you'll probably need a passport in the future anyway.

    There was a backlog when my sister tried to get hers in November. She applied on the 14th and didn't get it back til mid December. It could very well come on time but don't count on it.

    ML10s are pants.

    Garda stations don't always have ML10 forms. In the past I've had gardaí tell me they've never heard of them. I can only imagine ocking up to a bouncer with an ML10 for ID, it'd be like a scene out of The Inbetweeners! (Just going by my own pre-passport-having days).

    Nine times out of ten sliding someone an ML10 when they've asked for ID you might as well be a six year old handing your PE teacher a note in green crayon saying 'Pleaze xcuse Misty Cheese from sport today as she sick. Signed, Misty Cheese's Mam.'

    If you're going to the one venue, you could always try make an appointment with the manager and bring your birth cert and see if they could make arrangements with the bouncers when you give your name at the door? Obviously doesn't cover for the fact that some/all of your friends could be carded, but it's worth a shot! It's your best bet really - other than that all you can do is wear about 11 badges and a huge sash so everyone knows it's your birthday :p
    All well and good if the OP was 18 but not yet got their Garda ID however in this case the OP would still be under age and therefore not permitted on a licensed premises after 10pm (May-Sept). Why should the venue intentionally expose themselves to that risk?

    Jaysus you're right. Somehow read it as birthday not until 16th. Might be time to lay off myself (after one or two for the road that is).:D
