I doubt it - from reading a couple of online reviews, it seems to be open but largely empty in the evenings, until the post-pub crowd come in from 11 onwards.Happy hours are banned but if the promotion is for the whole of your trading day then I think it's ok. I presume Tramco opens at 2230 on a Friday?
Would the charge of manslaughter have stood if they allowed him to drink a pint of bleach, which they supplied, as a bet?
Do you really think it is their job to sell a pint of mixed spirits in a pint glass?If the manslaughter charge had stood barmen would not be able to do their job without fear of being charged with someones death,

This particular event and promotion is clearly targetted at young students, who are not generally reknowned for their self control. There is a serious risk of somebody doing serious harm to themselves.Why are you bothered either way about the promotion? If all pubs charged less I and others might go out more! Would not be enticed by these drinks but paying over €7 for a gin and tonic is mad and so I prefer to have a drink at home.
Thanks - it looks like this is the relevant section;In terms of legislation, the relevant Acts to look at are the Intoxicating liquer acts 03, 04 and 08. As a previous poster mentioned, "happy hours" are prohibited.
If you beleive this bar is breaking the law, then I presume you need to go to the Gardai. I can't see anyone else enforcing it.
The intended purpose of bleach is not for drinking. I am sure had they supplied him a pint of bleach the charge would have stood.
I dont see it was their responsibility, people have to take personal responsbility for their actions. If the manslaughter charge had stood barmen would not be able to do their job without fear of being charged with someones death, same for waitresses, air hostesses, room service in hotels. The same could be said for shopkeepers who sell tobacco, chemists who dispense paracetmol or doctors who prescribe medicine.

What about the headache tablets? Tesco have a policy of limiting sales.. they don't just willy nilly sell someone ten packs of barbituates. .and watch them go off to kill themselves. Why is this?, why do they take responsibility?
Selling half a bottle of vodka to a man whose intention is to drink it in one go is criminal in my view.
Fair enough, so. I won't bother. I guess there is no possible downside of binge drinking;Aw come on, I know youre username is Complainer but seriously - going to the gardai over "cheap" drink promotions is a bit OCD. For example, €4 for vodka/dash is what it should cost in reality anyway, similar for bottles of Corona etc which are sold for as much as €6 even though they can be gotten for under a euro in off license.
These types of nights were the best nights out back when I in college, to be honest you sound like a bit of a kill joy. It really is getting to nanny state levels when Joe Public is now complaining about stuff like this.
Theoretically true, but realistically, there is a reasonable expectation that they are not going to drink it in one go. Whereas if you give out a pint of spirits in a pint glass, there is a reasonable expectation that they WILL drink it in one go.If an off licence sells someone a bottle of vodka they have no idea whether or not the person is going to drink it in one go or not.
Somebody please think of the children ....... The pub is selling selected cheaper drinks than some other pubs. Big deal. It should be encouraged for competition reasons.Fair enough, so. I won't bother. I guess there is no possible downside of binge drinking;
