Cattigans is our local pub.  This is a typical Irish pub of the area with tv, games room and areas for drinking.  All Irish pubs, by law, are now no smoking establishments.  Imelda and I love the fact that we no longer have sore throats, or our clothes smell of cigarettes, at the end of an evening in a pub - yes, we are non-smokers.   Irish pubs have licensing hours, but they tend to be flexible!  Children can stay in pubs until 9.00pm, in the Winter and longer in the Summer.  The Irish may have a reputation for drinking, but I have never come across any bother with Irish drinkers!  They tend to be a friendly bunch!  Even when England beat them at Rugby!
