Most tour/festival poker in Ireland runs in unlicensed venues such as hotel conference halls...this is very expensive to put on eg hire of venue, plus dealers, plus equipment plus security
the problem being that Ireland does not have a Gaming commission, and most of the few regular tournament venues are not up to hosting modern large scale poker eg suitability for tv camers, disabled access etc
