Unless you're on holidays. Which means it's not exclusive to being in Ireland at all. Logic, people.

Only in Ireland ... can you fail your driving test
and drive home.

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.”

The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan’s offer. One man even leaves.

Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?” asks the Irishman.
The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses, drinking them all back-to-back.

The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If ya don’t mind me askin’, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?”
The Irishman replies, “Oh… I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.”

Only in Ireland:D

Out of curiosity what would be supposed to happen. You get the bus home and never get behind the wheel of a car again?

What I find gas is that, at the moment we have first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth year and fourth year was only brought in a few years ago.

Before that we had first to third and then fifth to sixth. Only in Ireland would they think to invent a system like that which skipped a number than be, "Oh sh!t, we'll fill it in later..."

So he gets let off for driving a Turbo Diesel? Good to know ...

Navigation by Pub: instead of street names, people give you directions relative to pubs. Great if you're a pub-going local, not so great if you're a foreigner who drinks about twice a year. A few years ago my GP sent me to a clinic for an x-ray on my neck:
"What's the address of the clinic?"
"It's next to 'The Barge' on the Grand Canal."
"Um ... "

Pop out to local shop/pub to get 20 Johnny Blue and Sunday World in a Massey Ferguson 35 in just a pair of wellies.

Ireland ... Only place where Gay Byrne could be president and where a bobby dazzler like Enda is Taoiseach.... And where a party can ruin a country and still get enough votes to keep a foot in the door!
