The Irish don’t really care about underage drinking anyway..I doubt they’ll ask you for ID, I know 14 year olds that can buy drink. As long as you don’t have a total baby face..just tell them it’s your 18th birthday, then obviously they’re not gonna ask you for ID.

The legal age for drinking here is 18, and while bars may have been laxidasical about enforcing at in the past, there seems to have been a big shkae up in the last year or so.
As far as I am aware, if a patron looks under 21 (In some places Under 25) they need to be asked to show ID
You could try, it all depends on what age you (and your friends) look. Hope you have a good trip anyway!

To be fair laura raises a valid point.
I’m 15 and the vast majority of my friends can buy alcohol relatively stress free.
Unless you look young or have a scabby barman, you should be ok.

You must be age 18 or over to drink in Ireland. You also have to be 18 or over to gamble, smoke, drive etc.

You’ll need photo ID.
