Interesting. I was only going on what was said to the lads on the Plaza on Friday evening. That was the only time over the weekend I saw the Gardaí stopping people drinking.

Kind of on topic, did anyone witness any trouble over the weekend? We passed a fair old scrap on Michael Street on Sunday night on the way from the fireworks to Shortt's. Looked like two or three lads and a couple of girls getting involved too. Pretty sure one of the girls got a slap.

One of me mates dropped a few of the lads down to the front lounge I think it was. What's that , about 3 minutes in town?
Said he seen a woman getting 3 smacks off a fella, a few cream crackers fighting amongst themselves and a few lads hopping on 2 chaps I think it was.
Friend would be nervous about jumping in when he sees a fella hitting a woman as he was almost stabbed ages ago by defending some random woman . Other night he said he just bipped the horn in the car and that seemed to get attention to the woman getting slaps.

Bye-Laws in full swing on Ballybricken anyway........

It's about time too, nothing worse than seeing a gang of them settling in for he day up there.

Slight bit of sarcasm in my post :pac:

Go and get a mass said for yourself. All over continental Europe parents drink in front of their kids (sometimes every night of the week having wine with their dinner). It doesn't mean the kids will end up problem drinking. Get a grip.

Oh so you're able to see into every home in continental Europe all at once and form an opinion based on this? I've lived in Europe and the French do have a binge drinking culture as I've witnessed it first hand having lived there as do the Germans having lived there, Germans can drink beer from the age of 16. You're spouting generic responses like the buses run on time in Germany, guess what!!! They don't.
