    Actually I was quoting on the wording he used, not to report something he saw being done wrong because it did not harm him.

    it was tongue in cheek, you know the AH type, (not having a go at you I trust you now;))

    Dublin stinks, i welcome the smell of smoke, its better than BO, smelly feet, ****, piss, farts etc.. Which is all i can seem to smell in town these days :confused:

    I get the smell of diesel and smoke when I'm in Dublin, and my usually white shoes have a murky layer of browny-black residue on them after being in town.

    Something tells me that that layer of airborne grime and pollution is doing worse damage to your lungs than a cigarette or two.

    Don't report them. I think it's far better that people stay inside pubs to smoke rather than hang around outside throwing their ashes and butts all over the path making the place look disgusting.

    Find a different pub.

    there's a place in my town, only the very few regulars would go near it. Dirty glasses (dirty everything tbh) smoking in the pub is encouraged and if the tv is on theres no chance of getting the barman's attention.

    But I'm positive the regulars would not change a thing, it's the same with the place the OP is talking about.

    If the regulars like it, and you're just a once off blow in, what right do you have to dictate how they should enjoy their night?

    One of my friends who smokes asked the barman if there was a smoking area. The barman looked at him funny and said 'no'. He then pointed to the roof of the pub as if to say you can smoke in here. He then proceeded to give my friend a small glass with water in the end of it to use as an ash tray and said 'don't tell anyone now'.

    Hang on... if the OP and his motley crew of friends ( ok, so maybe they are not Pirates !),agreed to the above request from ye olde local barman, then I reckon this is a legally binding verbal contract !? And obviously as a member of the Wiley Old Barmen of Ireland ( Wobi ), he would have known that by asking the above question, you cannot now name the bar without severe repercussions !

    A lot of the country pubs are doing this, I don't see the problem with it. It keeps custom up and the customers happy( The locals ).

    After closing time some bars do this (they remove all drink and take out the ashtrays)

    This is fine with me- the place no longer a pub and the doors locked etc. Personally id leave at that stage. Immune system is so not used to nicotine so i have a sore throat for a week if i hang around it for a while.

    Personally im surprised there has been no invention yet on a way of smoking nicotene indoor without spreaking the stuff. Would make millions

    Just last week in the Galway area, a friend of mine went into the town for a couple of pints (Sat night), people were openly smoking inside, he asked the owner to stop the people smoking, owner told him to fcuk off. My friend called the guards on his mobile from inside the pub and was manhandled in a very severe manner. The guards arrived, found people smoking on the premises, closed the doors back and front, took all the smokers names, took the owner aside for at least a half an hour and eventually closed the premises and told everyone to leave. A court case is next for this law breaking businessman. My friend is a male nurse which makes him an employee of the HSE, but this never came up at any stage in calling out the guards or when they arrived.

    So some pub is letting its punters smoke. BIG DEAL.

    I hope you've never had a late drink in a licensed establishment. Always straight out the door as soon as 12.30am comes around, yeah?

    Your friend is a rat and I'm sure he wont hear the end of it either.

    The law is the law and it was made to protect workers of pubs too. You have the luxury of if you don't like it then you can go somewhere else but I bet the bar workers don't have that choice.

    True, so if an employee wants to complain that's one thing, but this seems different to me. If it was hard to find a pub where you could avoid it I would understand reporting it but that doesn't seem to be happening.

    Seriously, a few young lads want to have a pint and a chat without having smoke blown into their faces, and exposed to carcinogenic chemicals, and these selfish aul lads want to ruin it for them...

    op, i know the pub your on about.

    honestly, its been reported several times before, and nothing will be done about it.

    the "regulars" are very very regular..probably the only ones who really go in there apart from the odd passerby's like your group.

    LOL, I love the way that the Daily Mail has succeeded in making the idea of someone "doing good" a negative thing, to be scorned and mocked!

    Bloody hell, like how annoyed your friend musta been to walk in this incredibly outrageous scene whilst on one of his many, many breaks from work?
    I hope he isn't too traumatised by this event?
    Please pass on all our warmest wishes to him and hope he gets over himself soon!
    May the Lord protect all HSE workers for the great work they continue to do
    for the Irish Republic!!

    Wouldn't be very prudent to say it then, would it?
