Hi, I'm Irish and have lived here all 25 years of my life. The laws here are strict, but to be honest, they are not very well enforced, particularily outside of the capital Dublin and other larger cities. When I was 16 and 17 I used to be able to get into clubs and pubs and had no problem getting served. It's the same nowadays for my younger sister and her friends. Back then we used to have fake id, cant remember where we got it from, but i think I may have been asked for it about twice and the door men never really looked at it properly. I suppsoe if you had some sort of id, maybe from the internet, it would certainly help. I mean the irish wouldn't know if a US id was fake or not. I'd say avoid going to shops or off licences. The best thing is just go into a pub and act casual. Should work ok.
Babe,
I've never been to Ireland but I wanna help you.....jk lol
