Anyone know of Cigar Clubs in Dublin?
I know smoking in public is a problem but do the laws apply to private clubs or rented function rooms?
The Cigar Club of Ireland has also hit upon a novel form of protest. The Cuban embassy in Dublin has agreed to host the club’s monthly meetings, thereby ensuring diplomatic immunity from observing the smoking ban.
"The Cuban chargé d’affaires’ residence is viewed as being on Cuban soil, so any cigar meetings that are held there will not be in breach of the smoking laws," said Belinda Gildea, a member of the club.
"We haven’t seen the last of these sneaky schemes," admitted a Gardai spokesman.
