The lad in Donegal applied for (and got) a licence for a railway refreshment room, which allows him to sell alcohol all year round.
Pub licences are €45k on the open market. My question is solely about railway refreshment rooms and terms to be served alcohol. The regulations apply 7 days a week, but the only enforcement by Irish Rail is on Good Friday, but no-one seems to know for definite what the regulations are. Is it 5 miles, or an intercity ticket, or neither? As I said my understanding that you had to be in possession of a ticket to travel at some point in the future, regardless of distance or mode, hence making you a "traveller". |

It'd be nice to know what the actual legislation is. |

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1...en/print#sec14 amended by section 5 of the 1962 act (but not that relevant) http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1...d/en/html#sec5 10 miles according to the law, so depends on where your DART ticket destination is. how the lad in Donegal is getting away with it I dont know, you'll need to ask the local garda. |

Thanks. Exactly what I was after.
So from Connolly (which it doesn't have to be) single (doesn't have to be either) I think we're talking Rush & Lusk, Leixlip Confey, or Bray. |

Or a Leap card, never been refused with my annual ticket (they have no way of checking)
The distance rule doesn't apply onboard, so board the 1837 to Rosslare. Easy enough get a beer and get off in Dun Laoghaire
