My question is solely about railway refreshment rooms and terms to be served alcohol. The regulations apply 7 days a week, but the only enforcement by Irish Rail is on Good Friday, but no-one seems to know for definite what the regulations are.

Is it 5 miles, or an intercity ticket, or neither? As I said my understanding that you had to be in possession of a ticket to travel at some point in the future, regardless of distance or mode, hence making you a "traveller".
legislation starts here

amended by section 5 of the 1962 act (but not that relevant)

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1...d/en/html#sec5

10 miles according to the law, so depends on where your DART ticket destination is.

how the lad in Donegal is getting away with it I dont know, you'll need to ask the local garda.
