    FFS. Link me to this. Link me to that.

    Are you aware murder is illegal? Would you need a link to that to?

    It is your responsibility to know the law. People don't have to tell you.

    He wants a law that straight forward says "your car is not the same type of private property as your house"

    Not quite the same is it.

    If you have one it would be much appreciated, I posted my extract of the constitution and didn't see it in there.

    Are you serious?!

    The constitution is one thing, statutory provisions (which there are literally thousands of) are a whole different story! I already told you there is no specific provision I can point to and anyways, all provisions have to be read in light of the other provisions in each act not to mention any amendments which have been made - they just don't plainly make a statement like the articles in Bunreacht na hEireann!

    If you look at A. 43(1)(i) which you posted, it guarantees a man's right to OWN goods privately which he can transfer, bequeath etc... Then A.43(2) expressly leaves room to restrict those rights if deemed necessary

    However, it nowhere proposes that a car is deemed private property in the same vein as a private dwelling

    Ok got it finally, a Christmas pressie just for you!

    Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994

    Section 4.
    1.It shall be an offence for any person to be present in any public place while intoxicated to such an extent as would give rise to a reasonable apprehension that he might endanger himself or any other person in his vicinity.


    2.A person who is guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £100.


    3.Where a member of the Garda Síochána suspects, with reasonable cause, that an offence under this section or under section 5 or 6 is being committed, the member concerned may seize, obtain or remove, without warrant, any bottle or container, together with its contents, which—

    ( a ) is in the possession, in a place other than a place used as a dwelling, of a person by whom such member suspects the offence to have been committed, and


    ( b ) such member suspects, with reasonable cause, contains an intoxicating substance


    "dwelling" includes a building, vehicle or vessel ordinarily used for habitation

    according to this you can't be intoxicated in a pub or club then?

    OK, now you're just being deliberately obtuse, it clearly says in the quoted piece 'public place'.

    Indeed it is illegal to be drunk in a pub or club, or to serve someone who is drunk in such a place.

    They don't follow up on that one that much though...

    But no, you cant, its illegal to cycle while drunk.
