For instance, did you know metal detecting is banned here?

No it's not.

Metal Detecting on an approved archaeological site without prior permission is illegal.
All other metal detecting is legal.

It is also against the law to dress up as a Garda or wear a irish army uniform. Party strippers are a dead give away at a party coming in wearing UK police uniforms

These are the things I want people to clear up! They might be banned from the tunnel, but at the time the government wanted to ban them off the roads, giving reasons such as low bridges etc.

Same as they wanted to ban all sunbeds. How many jobs does banning something cost?

God knows we NEED JOBS NOW!!

If there's a reason to ban something, jobs shouldn't come into it.

NO!metal detecting is only allowed on beaches here. Anywhere in land needs a cert from the OPW. With dates, times and area map supplied to OPW before hand. OPW= office of public works.

As anono boy pointed out this girl has lost her job and faces a criminal record now. Just because she was at work. While it was stated, most of what she had on DVD could be seen on the net.

Prostitution

Technically its not illegal but only if one doesnt actually do it (or something like that)

You can't advertise specifically for it. You can offer it along with other services, like massage, if someone asks. If a prostitute is attacked or whatever he or she has every right to go to the guards and prosecute the attacker.

This is correct, along with five year prison sentences, and with good reason. The country is creaking with valuable artifacts, you don't want every nimrod from around the EU jetting in with a metal detector and a mission, making off with our heritage.

Downside of this is that a lot of the stuff has most likely been destroyed in the past 20 years by machine reclaimation of land. Is it better to be found and taken or destroyed under a digger?

Do you not think, if people who metal detect had to offer it for sale to the government at a good price, first, people would not rob historic items but sell them to the government?

Why drive past times and hobbies underground? Same as fireworks, everyone sees them every year but its illegal here (and in one other EU country) you know which one??

7.—(1) A member of the Garda Síochána may without warrant seize and detain—

( a ) a detection device found in, at the site of, or in the vicinity of, a monument referred to in section 2 (1) ( a ) (i) or (iv) (inserted by the National Monuments (Amendment) Act, 1994) of the Act of 1987, or found in, or in the vicinity of, the areas referred to in section 2 (1) ( a ) (ii) or (iii) of the Act of 1987 unless the person in possession of the said device is in possession of a consent in respect of that device issued under section 2 (2) ( a ) of the Act of 1987

Its up to you to prove you weren't prospecting for archaeological finds, and good luck with that. There's a sticky in the archaeology forum about it.

Possibly. I think archaeology in Ireland is criminally underfunded as it is, but keep in mind that even if you do find something you are legally obliged to hand it over, "good price" or not. Be that as it may, the law is in place for a reason.

I'm fairly sure that archaeological examination is a required precursor of any excavation in Ireland.
