Everything you need to know from rules to opening hours
Good Friday is a religious holiday in Ireland that traditionally saw the sale of alcohol banned as a sign of respect.However, in 2018, the laws around its sale on Good Friday were lifted and meant that pubs and shops could sell drinks on this day for the first time in more than 90 years.
Since the rule change, retailers and pubs continue to operate at their normal hours and have no rules against customers purchasing alcohol. They will then be operating at varying hours across the bank holiday weekend, so customers are being advised to check the opening hours of their local supermarkets before making the trip.
