Good sign I hope Every test has been different so far too so it really depends on the tester you get, this was definitely the worst for my nose!

In May, here in Ireland we couldn’t go further than 2km from home unless it was for essential reasons and we only had hardware shops open. Meanwhile in europe you could get a haircut, go for a pint, buy non essential retail, and travel around as you pleased. That’s why our roadmap was draconian compared to other countries. We only allowed the last of our industries open on august 10th, those same industries were open and operating safely since May in other countries. That’s why I feel it was more severe here. Anyway this is totally derailing the purpose of the thread so I’ll leave the covid talk here.

The Gardaí have the power to confiscate drink if you are consuming in such a way that could cause worry, they are worried for your safety or if you are under the age of 18. See Citizen's Information's page re this. As an aside, that page notes it is an offence to consume alcohol within 100 metres of the off license from which it was consumed. Someone with some more time might want to look into this and how it relates to pubs etc. Cork has bye laws which prohibit public drinking. These are provided for under Cork City Council (Prohibition of Consumption Of Intoxicating Liquor on Streets and in Public Places) Bye-Laws 2001. The Gardaí have the power to impose a €75 fine, which the City Council can follow up, as well as the Gardaí who can chase fines unpaid.This is the best info I can find on Cork bye laws at the minute.

Essentially then other counties followed by copying their legislation and to the best of my knowledge all local authorities had banned public drinking by the early 00's
