Ireland has banned smoking in the workplace, which includes restaurants and bars. It is the world's most comprehensive ban on tobacco in the workplace. We will be happy to go on listing venues which comply, this is a big (and probably slow) change.
Jean Peltier has a nice page about it, with an example of the sign you will see in pubs:

and explanations in French, English and German.

A number of pubs in and around Dublin have set aside new smoke-free 'zones',
as part of a Regional Health Authority program.
Participating pubs have special signs in their window
so that nonsmokers who like a good beer know to come in!
We do not yet have details on what makes a smoke free 'zone'.
