Hi all. Sorry if this is the wrong section, but here goes.

I am curious as to what the laws are (if any) that cover serving alcohol to the public on river boats. Someone told me that a licence is not required once the boat has cast off and is a certain distance from shore. I have searched and can't find a definitive answer.

TIA.
 
If the vessel is closer to the irish coast than 12 miles (baselines act) then it is subject to irish law. So i the case of a river it would appear that a licence to sell alcohol would be required where it is serving the public.
