Ireland is alot more laid back and generally can be a nicer atmosphere. HOWEVER it is much more of a nanny state and may closely follow this ID scheme, the only reason i don't see it adapting it, is if it isn't done so in europe. Btw i'm in Northern Ireland (rather than the Republic) you can pretty much get away with whatever you want up here regardless if it's brought into UK law or not as long as you don't mind living in a shithole of a country
