Many pubs near me function as restaurants as well as pubs. Children
are welcome but one, at least, restricts children under 14 after 7:30
pm. They do not have a separate dining room and this is to suit a
mainly adult clientele who prefer to eat in the evening without
children around.
On the other hand, last night I was having a drink with friends in a
pub across town and there were two couples at a table beside the bar
with two young girls. The younger of the children cannot have been
more than 5 years old and the older looked about 9.
The group was there until after 11pm . As they got more bored the
children became noisier and noisier and started running around. The
adults were getting more and more drunk and the women started to
involve the children in singing songs and encouraging them to dance
and be even noisier.
As time went by my own reaction changed. At first I was content to
go along with a happy group , and parents at least not ignoring their
children. As they got noisier, and frankly a right PITA, I started
to feel that it was very wrong for the parents to have kept the
children up so late and that the landlord should not have permitted
them in the bar area.
So at the risk of giving offence to doting (or careless) parents, I
think it is not a good idea to have children in bar areas in the
evening and I can go along with establishments that have restrictions
on children.

Central London will be the hardest area. Most pubs that have a
room without a bar in it will allow children in that bar. The
mitchelin pub guide tells about "dogs allowed" but not children.
The CAMRA guide lists pubs with family rooms.

There was a well-publicised drop in the Scottish numbers around the end
of the last century - maybe that's what the poster was thinking of.

It does indeed. But if you exclude UK visitors from both countries,
Ireland gets twice the number of tourists that Scotland does:-)

Sure, but given that most tourists in either country are from the UK, it
seems a pointless comparison. Given the size and population of both
countries, I don't think I'd argue that _either_ doesn't have a thriving
tourist industry.

I haven't looked at stats but there seemed to be large numbers of
US arriving at Shannon and a handful of Brits.

The numbers speak for themselves. Around 3 and a half million visitors
to Ireland every year are from the UK. The number from US/Canada is a
little under a million (as of 2002) but could be back over that now. It
was just over a million in 2000. Of the total number of 6 million visits
to Ireland, around a million were business, about 3.2 million tourist,
and 1.6 to visit friends/relatives (which I usually would lump with
'tourist' anyway.) It's safe to say the number of UK tourists far
outnumber the US tourists- unless you assume that all the UK visitors
were on business or visiting friends and relatives! (Those are the
official 2002 figures.)

But Shannon is not an airport particularly popular for flights from the
UK, although it has historically had strong transatlantic connections.
Go to (frex) Dublin or Cork airports and the situation is quite
different.

Of course, but I find it interesting that what I saw on the
ground was different. Perhaps the Brits are in Dublin getting
pissed and the Americans are in Kerry looking for htier roots?

Not really- you're talking about Shannon airport, which has a lot of US
flights. You'd expect to see americans there.

Certainly some truth in that. But then, a tourist euro is a tourist
euro whether it's spent in a Temple Bar pub or a Dingle B&B.
