The Irish government is considering reducing the drink breathalyser limit,this will undoubtedly speed the closure of many rural pubs in Ireland.
some people think that Irish Traditional music will suffer,others hope that that people will play[ITM] in houses[aka Rambling Houses].
however[imo] tourists will be less inclined to come Ireland for several reasons,
1. if they cant see ITM in the environment of a pub
2.If there is a reduction in pubs /eating places[particuarly in rural areas],
do people think this is a good or bad thing,Dick Miles
