    I'm open to correction - there is something niggling in the back of my mind about fake driving documents and people entitled to confiscate them if presented but that may be nonsense on my part - so I will say Absolutely not, whether it was fake or not, unless there is a specific provision which I'm not aware of.

    Isn't there something around the lines that the bouncers can forward it to the local Garda station or something. :confused: But I am not too sure either.

    A bouncer threatened me with that back when I was 17 :o Never checked out the legality of it though.

    I worked on the door for over 8 yrs, there was plenty of fake ID out there and no doubt there still is. We asked a Garda Sergent on night where we stood on taking ID that was fake and his response was "We were obliged to take it" and then forward it on to the local Garda station and let the person come and collect it I have no doubt that there is a stash of fake ID in Pearse St Garda station

    You were obliged to take it just like any other private citizen would be obliged to report a crime.
