Govt considering plans for alcohol-free zones in pubs
(Ireland On-Line, 01/04/2004)
The Government is apparently considering plans to offer grants to publicans who introduce alcohol-free zones on their premises. An inter-departmental working group is believed to be studying the proposals, which would form part of the Government’s efforts to tackle the culture of excessive drinking in Ireland. The initiative will reportedly be tested on a pilot basis at a number of locations throughout the country.

******Someone tell me, WTF is an alcohol-free zone in an Irish pub???? If their intention is to curb drinking, why don't they institute prohibition, like we did - oh yeah, it didn't work here...******
