    Does this mean the end of the pukefests that make up a typical weekend in Temple Bar? Oh happy tragedy!

    Having been to Prague, I can safely say that I'd personally rather go there than to dublin for a stag night or whatever.

    I'm not surprised. Even with the high prices charged in the city center compared to the rest of Prague, it's still way cheaper to go on the piss there than Dublin. The weird thing is, all the locals seem to disappear at night.

    Possibly because Prague has a ridiculously out of control sex industry. A friend holidayed there, and learned to be wary of going out ANYWHERE at night.

    Maybe the Brits are going there because hookers are easier to find?

    Aaaaah thank GOD for that!
    British people on stag nights are responsible for dragging Temple Bar down to gutter level. I'm not exaggerating but literally every weekend night i'm out in Temple Bar, there's a scuffle involving British stag/hen nights, usually in the Q for the ATM at temple bar square.

    And as a friend of mine once observed....why can't English lads wear *tasteful* shirts when visiting Dublin on a stag weekend? Eh? :)
    Ben Sherman must do a special Stag package, 20 manky shirts for only 99.99!

    Seems like the bars are still pretty busy, so some people must still have the money!!
    But it is Crazy that fx. Q Bar has the nerve to ask 5.20 for a pint now, or that is what i hear anyway since i wont ever bother going there again!!

    Anyway, good to hear that the Stag and hen nights are going away, even though it means less money of Ie i am sure a lot of us will be a lot happier!! :D
