    Where can I find out more about these? Obviously the big thing about them is their different realities when it comes to licensing law. I am interested in that but I'm also interested in what else they afford. Shared ownership of property and assets, protection with regards to liability, levels of membership and that.

    I'd prefer not to have to buy a legal text. :P

    Being doing some searching and I can't find the Registration of Clubs Act anywhere.

    And it seems that the primary concern with most clubs was to get around booze laws. There must be more to it than that though.

    Sports and social clubs with a bar in the clubhouse have to have to be registered as a club under the Registration of Clubs (Ireland) Act, 1904.

    For some inexplicable reason, pre-1922 statutes are not generally available for free online, even though they may be still in force. (The government should make them available).

    According to this thread, the 1904 Act is available on Justis, if you have access to that.

    In case it is of any interest, see Order 83 of the District Court Rules.
