It's been debated for the last year or so in the press and on the airwaves.

The govt appointed a commission on alcohol and this was one of their recommendations.

The early houses were saved, we're counting our blessings.

I can't believe there are people yet to be outraged!

 

[GO]

There are'nt man.We're losing it.Big time.

Agreed! This has been affecting me from day one! I had two smuggle two small bottles of wine out of the pub cos they wouldn't sell me a big bottle after ten. Sheesh.

Even Fibber's where you used to be able to buy a bottle of whiskey at 2.30am has a 10.00pm sign up. Jaysus wept.

If you disagreed with this guy you'd all be making snide comments about his absolutely horrible writing.

Everybody knows that the alcohol related problems affecting Irish society, and the mental and physical health of it's members are directly related to the sale of alcohol after 10pm. It has been scientifically proven that the booze procured and consumed before hand has no effect what so ever. This is what's known as the 'safe zone', where teenagers can happily purchase as many cans as they can carry from every single newsagent in the country, drink them, buy more and still contribute to Irish life in a positive and non threatening way. I'm thrilled that the egg heads down at Dáil HQ have managed to highlight the 'danger zone' where every other drink taken at every other hour of the day suddenly takes control of our unsuspecting souls and livers. Statistics prove that every single bad thing happens because of the availability of alcoholic drinks at this time. Even grannies and couples planning to watch Wire DVD boxsets will be transformed into shaven headed booze monsters beyond the magic twenty second hour.

Thanks to our knowledgeable overlords, very soon we will see an end to binge drinking, alcohol related violence and we as a nation will be happier than ever before, tucked up in our beds by 10.30 with a nice mug of hot chocolate.

It's all a ploy by the vintners federation to get us back into pubs all night instead of
starting with one or two at the pub before heading home to enjoy tinnies and bottles of
vino, smoking fat joints, not getting randomly punched in the face and enjoy exactly the
kind of music that we like.
Total buzzkill having to stock up on booze beforehand.
Every day is a mini Good Friday.

Struck me as bizarre that its fine to buy booze from 10.30 in the morning,but after 10pm its just plain alcoholism.
So,in summary
Breakfast cans = Good
Supper cans = Bad

That's it right there.

 

[GO]

That's it right there.

Damn straight.
I would'nt be surprised if they started shutting down the internet at 10 as well.
In a ploy to get us back down the pub.

We should've had a referendum on this instead of the poxy Lisbon treaty
