Oh yeah!
They Bloody well dont in Ireland!
I had to chase the HM in Baltimore to take my money - found him in the pub - and when we moved to across the small Marina on the other side they took the money in the pub.
The Landlord, after we had bought some drinks and a meal, looked out of the window and said " Sure 'an its just a little boat - have yer money back! "
It was a 38 footer, so not so little.
Covid allowing, we are going back!
Passports, reporting to the police - not on your life.
Eight years ago, we spent just over a fortnight in Ireland, never paid any harbour dues anywhere, couldn't find anybody to pay them to! Admittedly we didn't actually visit any marinas, just fishing harbours.
