I can sort of relate to your question. I was 17 for my whole 1st year in Galway and it was quite difficult, was asked for ID everywhere but luckily I had one. I turned 18 on the last day of college:rolleyes:

I then started in Sligo last September and I was 19 for the whole year and then turned 20 in May during the exams. I was more often than not asked for ID during a student night because I guess the bouncers realise there would be a lot of 17 year old students around town. My advice would be to get a good ID if you want to get in everywhere because more often than not you will be ID'd:(

There is a sign on the door of the Brewery (pub beside college) that they only accept your College ID but infact they rarely even ask for ID unless there is something on in the pub.

i was 17 for most of my first year in sligo and was ID'd pretty much everywhere,except for kilgallons (the off licence on the mall, fair play to them!). lucky for me though, i had my bothers old galway student card which was accepted everywhere...

Exact same as me. I got by using a photocopier, photo paper, green card, and some laminate though!

Another thing, what id did you change John?

The easiest one I think is a Driving License, I have never done it and don't need to do it but I have heard it's fairly easy to do it if you have a scanner.

No relations or older brother that you might look like?

zonEEE

Ask someone you know who has a licence and is over 18, then get them to say they lost it they can then get a new one, You can then take out their picture, replace it with your own, bitta lamination over it and bobs your uncle works best if you have a licence yourself and take the pic out of your licence as it will have the small green lines on it.
