Insurance for your boat is a legal requirement. You can find a list of narrowboat insurers on the site. Please note that your intention to live on your narrowboat and the age of the boat will have an impact on the insurance cost so must be declared.
The legal age to buy alcohol in Ireland is 18. You must be able to prove your age. A passport, National Identity Card, Garda SÃ­ochÃ¡na Age Card (Age Card issued by Irish Police), drivers licence are all usually acceptable. Expect staff to check your ID, particularly if you look to be in your late teens or twenties.
The average drinking age over there is 16, and the driving age is 18. It makes sense to let teens get the experimenting with alcohol out of the way before they learn how to drive, instead of not really enforcing the over 21 rule and allowing 15 year olds to drive.he average drinking age over there is 16, and the driving age is 18.
