Our Pubs are the Cleanest



A global study has found that Ireland has some of the cleanest pubs in the world.

The Harvard University research compared the air quality in pubs in Ireland to Irish theme bars around the world. The findings reveal that pubs under smoke-free law in Ireland show 91% lower indoor air pollution than “Irish pubs” in cities around the world.

The study assessed air samples from 128 “Irish pubs” in 15 countries in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Irish pubs were defined as those that served Irish beer on tap and had an Irish name (e.g. Murphy’s, O’Donnell’s) or a visible statement that the venue was an Irish pub.

The “Irish pubs” in London, Manchester, Belfast and Newry were on average 13 times more polluted than those in Galway, Dublin, Cork and Ennis. The most polluted “Irish pub” was in Lyon, France. It was some 37 times more polluted than the average pub at home.
