What is the fine for public intoxication in Ireland?
"Section 4 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994 deals with the offence of being intoxicated (that is, drunk) in a public place. While the maximum fine for being intoxicated in a public place in Ireland is €500, the section gives the Gardai the power to seize the intoxicating substance (normally, the alcohol) where they suspect that an offence of being intoxicated in a public place is being committed.
Section 23B has been inserted in the Act by section 184 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 (pdf) and provides for a fixed charge fine instead of court proceedings for being intoxicated in a public place. This fixed charge fine, currently €100, may be set and varied by the Minister for Justice and Law Reform." (from source in link below)
In practice unless you are being a nuisance or causing a racket you won't be fined or arrested. If you are actually drinking in a public area and a Garda (Irish police person) sees you you will be stopped, warned and your drink thrown out and usually that's it.
