In Limerick, as in the rest of Ireland, smoking is prohibited in all enclosed public places. This includes restaurants, bars, stores and public transport. It is also prohibited in workplaces, schools and universities. However, some establishments have designated outdoor areas where smoking is allowed. Violations of these laws can result in fines. Visitors are therefore advised to abide by these restrictions and smoke only in designated areas to protect the health and well-being of residents and other visitors.
