Tuam Enforces 75 Euro Public Drinking Fines | Galway News

Tuam, County Galway, just became the first town in the county to crack down on public drinking with a new by-law: a 75 euro fine for sipping spirits in public, rising to 150 euro if unpaid within 21 days, and up to 1,900 euro if ignored. Approved in June and active since July 7, the rule empowers community wardens and Gardaí to enforce it on the spot — with exemptions for pubs, hotels, festivals, and outdoor dining. Spearheaded by Councillor Sean Cunniffee, the move targets anti-social behavior and aims to restore order without shutting down local businesses.
