Public drinking in Ireland forbidden?

My friends and I regularly meet at Eyre Square and drink some cheap cider or beer at night. But when Mara and I were sitting on the grass on Eyre Square and were drinking our cheap Lidl cider one night, the police (in Ireland it's called "Guarda") pulled over and told us that drinking in a public park is not allowed and that we should throw our cans away. Of course, we instantly told them that we were German and that we didn't know that although I think I have heard about it before. Well, but our cans weren't empty yet, so after the guarda was gone, we moved to another part of the park and downed our ciders. The next day I asked Paraic about this law and he told me that you usually have to pay €100 if you are caught drinking in the public. So, I would say that the guarda was really nice to us and that is why we still haven't given up that bad habit of drinking on Eyre Square.

Halloween

I was a vampire, the sexy kind!
At first we met at Mara's and had a few drinks and then we went to a big Halloween Party that was organized by the some societies from university.

My goal was to party 5 days in a row and I did it! But now I'm so fucking tired! So, here we go:

Wednesday (October 24, 2007): International Society party at Massimo, then dancing in Roisin Dubh, and after that houseparty at a Swiss guys' house until 5 am.

My new boots (on the right side).

Katharina eating toast in the middle of the night.

Thursday (October 25, 2007): houseparty at Mara's place. I think I was in bed by 2.30 am - an early night.
That stuff can kill you! (It's German! *lol*)

Friday (October 26, 2007): after few drinks at my place, we went to Cuba. I was in bed by 4 am.
That kills as well! (It's also German! ;-))


Saturday (October 27, 2007): Mara was too tired, so I went to Monrose and Blue Note with Verena and Julia. Again it was a rather early night and I was in bed by 2 am.

Dancing to some weird music!

Sunday (October 28, 2007): at first Quays to listen to a band, then it got really crowded and most of my friends went home. So I went to Massimo, Blue Note, and Roisin Dubh with Julia and Kathrin. I was in bed by 3 am and the weird thing was that my Irish housemates were already in bed although Monday was a bank holiday.
Pubs in Germany never get that crowded!
