new stupid irish laws

i_love_toast

i love ireland but seriously whats with all the stupid laws brought in in the last few months.chatting to a polish lad i work with..lovely fella...asked him was he at the Ireland v Poland match last week and he said yeah match was great but had a bit of trouble with the guards after the game.

supposably a group of them bought their cans before the match and left it in their car as the stupid 10 o clock law would of stopped them from buying drink after.anyways they got the cans and where on their way to a party after celebrating the win.few of them cracked open a can while walking down the road to the party.

guards pull up and take all of their cans off them(40 cans!!!)and fines them each 50quid!wtf like!the lads wernt causing any hassle just going to a party and decided to have a can on the way.And the worst thing is this is actually the law they can take off all of anyones drink if their drinking in the street not just the open stuff all of it.ruined their night!and i would by bullin' too!

rants over.laws in this country are made by eejits!bunch of monkeys!roll on the non drinkers comments yay

If they'd just do something about all the scumbags drinking cans around Cork City I'd be happy.

Isn't there a thread going about Christmas parties?
I wonder where those cans will end up that they confiscated

Hey OP, if a bunch of winos stood outside your gaff drinking cans all day would you still be raging that you aren't supposed to be drinking in public?
How about skangers drinking dutch gold in your local park?

The 10pm rule may be stupid but the drinking in public law should be better enforced.
You know the Croke Park area, ever walk by the canal any lunchtime? Winos everywhere!

THey need all the cans they can possibly get for their pre Christmas P.R. confiscated drinks Display. :mad:

Coincidentally the PR stunt is in the same place as the Christmas Party.

Stupid laws in Ireland, Yes plenty of them.
But the law against drink in public, not stupid at all.

tolosenc

So your point is: "people shouldn't be punished for breaking the law", right?

That's what they did, and that's what happened to them. Simple as.

I mean, all they had to do was not open the cans till they got there. And the drinking in public law isn't exactly a new one.

I think the Gardaí should confiscate drink from everyone and then give it to me for safekeeping. Here's a recent picture of me for all the ladies:

i_love_toast

oh no i am totally for drinking in public laws.but i think a fine and made throw the empty cans away is more than enough and there not kids there not knacker drinking in a park!but to take everyones cans off them all 40 of them is mad.if they were under 18 then definetly so but there adults and they wernt hanging around outside a shop throwing stuff at grannies they were on there way to a house to drink sensibly.im just saying if it was you how would you feel.whats next..after it gets dark everyone has to wear hi-vis jackets??wudnt surprise me if that was brought in next week!

Sharpshooter

I don't think it's a stupid law at all.
It is a very good one that should be enforced a lot more
than it is.
Now if we are talking "stupid", that would be the look how cool I am drinking in street git's who think they are above the law.

Why should a group of lads be allowed walk down any street day or night drinking?

Hardly a stupid law if being a polish person or not.

If a group of scangers with hoods were walking down the street with a can in hand heading to a party I bet you would be the first to wonder why the Gardai do not stop them.

Gardai, not guards!

jaywalking isn't a crime in Ireland.
I know because I started a thread over in the Legal forum a few months back

So you got a problem with jaywalking too?

I didn't realise that they're allowed take the unopened ones. that's not very nice

I don't see what hoods has to do with anything....


I don't think laws should be different for different people, but i definitely think the gardai should use some cop on. Drinking in public is banned because it can cause people to become rowdy and cause trouble, and thats the kind of behaviour the gardai should be looking out for. If theres a group of people cracking a can on the way to a party, so what? they're not causing trouble...

challengemaster

'Bout time we started seeing a bit of action from the Gardaí.

Guess he won't do that again, huh?

bealbocht

The law is stupid, because it treats all people as if they act like the lowest common denominator.

If 100,000 people go out on a Friday night and 100 cause some kind of problem, does it mean everyone should be punished.

They should of course have the powers to deal with idiots swiftly and severely, but treating everyone like a potential criminal is not the way.
And this being Ireland, it means, the guards wont bother too much with winos because it will be just to much trouble in the long run.. and instead apply the law only to people who will respect it. So the problem will not be solved, but normal people will have less freedom.

This law also means for example that you could not have a glass of wine at a picnic, as you would be drinking in public. You could never have a beach party, or barbque in a public place, unless you restrict yourself to fizzy pop.

I also think the recent laws are badly thought out as, firstly they restricted pub opening hours to deal with public order offences.
Again, this restricts the freedom of many, because of the actions of a few.
Even morons can figure out they should go to the pub an hour earlier if they want to get just as drunk.

I am being governed by morons, who make laws, dictated by the acts of morons, and people who cant understand this are morons.

wow. just wow.

I've seen guards recently use this law to take drink off people who weren't drinking in the street. it seems mere suspicion alone is enough for the guards in this case, is this correct?

for the record, there's nothing wrong with drinking in public. it's HOW people drink in public that's the problem. stricter laws like this wont make a damn difference at the end of the day, it's the culture that causes the problem.

IvySlayer

If I want to buy a six pack at 2 am, I should be allowed to. Just because others can't drink responsibly doesn't mean I should be punished. The Government are treating us like children. Plenty of people die on the roads, why not impose a 20 MPH speed limit!!?!! :mad:

When the local Fianna Fáil candidate comes around I'm going to give him an earful. Although I do agree that drinking in public should not be allowed. Do it in your house/the pub.

Got a problem with this?
Go to the Garda ombudsman.

Anyone who says that it's nopt worth going to the ombudsman does not get the right to complain.

You've never been to Waterford, have you?

The 4-lane roads are 40MPH though.......................

I find myself wondering about that every day when walking along Eden quay. The boardwalk is always full of skangers enjoying their cans, and stronger stuff. I've never seen the Gardai do anything about it and am starting to think that maybe the boardwalk was secretly designed to be a creche for skangers.

Wait...
Polish people?

Fúck them. They are in Ireland now and have to obey Irish laws.

Christ, what got your nipples in a twist? Did i say i had a problem with it? No. I asked a question; do the guards have the right to confiscate on suspicion alone?

If you need a smoke or a pint to have a "release" or to relax then ya have no need to be worrying about tax, ya have more serious problems!

Ok, so you've established that standards aren't important to you, only doing the bare minimum, and you don't care about how you appear to others. You're like a grammatical slob, dirty sweat pants and mustard stains down your t-shirt. :pac:
