    Hello. Just wondering; apart from the obvious i.e. Drink, smoke, vote etc, are there many things you can do once you turn 18 in Ireland.

    I'm looking for trivial things such as being allowed in a Jacuzzi. Thanks...

    Feel free to move this by the way.

    Off the top of my head:
    - do jury duty
    - pay tax
    - be prosecuted as an adult
    - get married without your parents consent
    - use "I'm 18 I can do what I want" as an argument!

    Can't think of anymore at the moment. As for not being allowed in a Jacuzzi, that's more at the discretion of the Gym/spa owner, and usually an insurance thingy, it's not specifically prohibited by the law.

    Does one not pay tax before they are 18? If not then I need a nice fat cheque back from the government.

    Now that the dole for under 20s has been cut in half you sure as hell can't live on your own.
