Inis Oírr

Understand

While many people go there for a traditional Irish "session" anti-social behaviour is not tolerated. Should such behaviour occur, the locals, who are very hospitable and welcoming, will not hesitate to call the Gardaí Irish Police Force from the mainland to come over and sort out any unruly behaviour. Remember, Inis Óirr is not a million miles away from the mainland.

Many people are under the impression that since Inis Óirr is isolated, closing times for pubs does not apply. This is not true, and though they may stay open longer than a mainland pub, you will not get served into the early hours. Reason being is that a plain clothes member of the Irish Police Force could be around the place. This is no joke as pubs on the island were genuinely caught before, so the days of island pubs staying open all night are now gone.
