I remember hearing about mad law in Trinity alright that students can demand a glass of wine at any time during an exam, provided they are wearing their sword. And that you can shoot a Catholic priest from the Campanile on a Sunday with a bow and arrow.

There's one in UCD I heard about that says it's legal to kill someone outside a nightclub by stamping on their head as long as your Dad is a judge and you can flee the country afterwards.

Fago!

The laws of physics are still ****ing here!

They don't apply to me though!

If your dad is a Judge you can do anything you wish.

Going further, if you are a judge you can have potential convictions for certain material quashed without problem.

As I heard it, it's a glass of port not wine. and you must leave your sword at the door. I think someone tried this but again the rumor mill isn't trustworthy

in fact as trinity college was established before the Irish free state became republic of Ireland they're laws predate and over rule our laws. I don't think they're enforced though

In Ireland any member of the Catholic Clergy may ignore civil law if another more senior member of the church is aware of the crime.

Sounds like a proper deterrent to me

In Ireland on the friday before the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after 21 March it is illegal to serve alcoholic beverages in most business premises. Apparently this dates back to when a fictional character was killed in a book written 100's of years ago. I shit you not!
