MissMohawk Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Until recently in Ireland, the pubs were closed on good Friday and the sale of alcohol in shops was banned due to the 1927 Intoxicating Liquor Act. Thursday would usually have seen trolley loads of alcohol going out of the shops, all because it wasn't available for one day. This ended in 2018 when the law was lifted, pubs can now open on Good Friday and the sale of alcohol is allowed as normal in shops. There are a few places that will still close today because it is what they have done for so many years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 In my state, we had no Sunday alcohol sales in stores (repealed several years ago). At that same time, a person could get served in a bar or restaurant. Stores are still not permitted to sell alcohol while polls are open and people are voting for political offices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is ironic because if there is one day of the year when a drink or seven would be called for it is Election Day... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
