Are off licences and pubs open on Good Friday? Everything you need to know

Last year, the Irish ban on pubs opening and alcohol being sold on Good Friday was lifted.

As a result, Good Friday is now a normal day for pubs and off licences across the country - but they can close if they wish.

The 90 year ban meant pubs could not open and alcohol could not be sold in Ireland on the day.

Are off licenses open?

Yes, off licenses just like pubs are allowed sell alcohol on Good Friday and will be doing so for the most part.

Big chains such as Tesco, Supervalu and the likes will be running on normal hours if you are considering heading for a few cans.

Are all Dublin pubs open?

While all pubs are allowed to be open this doesn't necessarily mean that they are.

It's up to the pub to decide themselves if they wish to open or not so some may remain shut.
