We're looking at different links my friend. No mention of a "family pub" in the OP's link.
They're not irish. It took place in an english pub.

Grandfather Danny Polak snapped when 15-month-old Finlay White would not stop grizzling. When Finlay’s mother Rachel Atkin confronted him he kicked her up the backside, a court heard.
The row started when Ms Atkin ordered food at the bar of the Ernehale pub in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. She and her sister-in-law had been sitting near Polak and his wife. The elderly couple were angry that she had left Finlay. ‘It was then that Finlay started to whine as though he was missing his mother,’ said Catherine Picardo, prosecuting.
‘The defendant, with a half-full pint in his hand, approached the table and poured it over the baby’s head, which caused him to scream.

So glad I dont live in Ireland anymore. What a horrible, miserable lot you are. What that piece of dog excrement did to that innocent child is a terrible thing to do to a defenseless toddler. Deserves a week in the clink if you ask me. And people that have kids have as much right to enjoy the pub on a Sunday afternoon for a carvery as much as the bunch of miserable arses who nobody would ever have children with do :P
Ah bless. A mick hating sap. Or a disgruntled ex-pat with no friends.
Tell me this, do you like to bring your rowdy, boisterous kids to a pub and f*ck up everyone else's relaxing peace and quiet on a sunday afternoon ?

Yes they paid for the privilege to eat and drink but not to take over the whole pub with noise.parents also paid for the privilege to eat and drink , not to have a child assaulted - if it was my child - i would have stuck the glass down his throat
and in fairness RTDH - usual sh1t from you - do you think before you post ? ever ?
If they didn't have the child present with them this would not have happened.
How many pubs have baby changing facilities?
How many pubs have strapped in high chairs to cater for children?
The above explains it. 0 -

I dont have children. If I did have some one day I would not lose the right to go to the pub (in the middle of the afternoon, at a pub that sells food, no less).
And Im not really sure where you get your aspersions from. I got out, why would I be disgruntled? I dont live in a borderline 3rd world country anymore
And there is a sizeable ex-pat community here too, who are also 'gruntled' to be out, not to mention the locals I know... do you think all expats are friendless and dont leave their house or something? People make new friends you know Just cause you have been and always will be spending your days getting drunk in the same pub with people you went to primary school with doesnt mean there arent others in life who want something more for themselves 0 -

Ah, at least he got up and did something about it! Parents that don't do anything about their annoying screaming children deserve a nice, square kick in the arse to spark some parenting skills into them!
A child crying (especially a 15 month old) has nothing to do with a lack of parenting skills.Run_to_da_hills wrote: »This is worth a discussion.
Screaming babies have no place in any pub day or night.
For the child's sake and for those that have paid for the privilege of having a bit of peace and quite.
If you want to bring a child out for a meal drink, you take them to a McDonalds.
Kids being brought to places like McDonalds to eat is probably a reason why a lot of them have no idea how to behave in an actual restaurant.
Is it so shocking that a lot of parents don't want their kids eating unhealthy fast food? It's not the only option. Loads of pubs cater to families, especially in the UK where it is normal for a family to go out for a Sunday pub lunch.Run_to_da_hills wrote: »How many pubs have baby changing facilities?

The above explains it.
Lots of pubs that serve food have high chairs and changing facilities.
I think what this man did is disgusting...miserable old bastard0 -
I naturally assumed this would be one of RTDH's obscure examples of martial law against innocent people. It isn't but it's equally silly.Run_to_da_hills wrote: »Yes they paid for the privilege to eat and drink but not to take over the whole pub with noise.

Not sure about changing facilities but I know plenty of pubs that have strapped in high chairs. If the man had such a big issue with crying babies, he can feel free to go to management to complain. Pouring a beer over an innocent baby is being an arsehole of the highest order.0 -

Win-Win
No, only the miserable bastards win.
What you're saying is basically saying Apartheid was 'win-win' (As an extreme example). Its not 'win-win' if only one side is happy lad! This is kind of implied in the phrasing!

I myself know and have ex pat relations and friends who aren't smug about living abroad or are self-loathing about being irish. Just in case you thought I was generalizing the millions of us who are abroad right now and aren't complete pricks.
Nice superiority complex ya got going on there though.0 -
