Well this is the first weekend where the ban is in force, I'm off to work very shortly so I'll let you know how it goes. I'm being brought in 2 hours early tonight because there's been trouble already today!.
I suspect getting Irish people to respect this law is going to be awhile lot different than Americans. We have a much stronger pub culture here, plus we ain't called 'The fighting Irish' for nothing.

Should be fun!.
