Cork outdoor events will no longer be dry affairs following changes to bylaw
It follows a resolution by city councillors to amend 10-year-old bylaws which banned the consumption of intoxicating liquor on the city’s streets.
The proposed amendment to the Cork Corporation (Prohibition of the Consumption of Intoxicating Liquor on the Streets and in Public Places) Bylaws 2001 read: “It shall not be an offence under these bylaws to consume intoxicating liquor at an event in respect of which there is in operation a letter from the City Manager exempting the application of these byelaws, at such location, for such period and subject to such conditions as stated therein, application for such letter to be made to the City Manager in advance of such event and the granting of such exemption to be at the sole discretion of the City Manager following consultation with the Gardaí.”
