8 memories and oddities that make Irish pubs the greatest
O'Shea's pub, Borris, Co Carlow Element Pictures Element Pictures
LAST NIGHT THE wonderful documentary The Irish Pub aired on RTÉ One.
The film acts as a “tribute to the greatest institution in Irish society” and captures not just the pubs themselves, but the publicans who run them.
The Irish Pub highlights some great characters, some great pub characteristics, and brought back some great memories of the establishments features.
