Does anyone know what the law concerning the carrying and use of knives in Ireland is ?.
Does the law differentiate betwwen fixed and folding blades ?
What are the penalties if prosecuted ?
Obviously carrying a concealed (or worse still an exposed knife) in public in a town or city, would attract the attention of the local Garda. But I have never heard of anyone being arrested or prosecuted for carrying a knife in the countryside or in the wilds.
Any budding lawyers out there. ???
