This ruling sets a set a precedent which means when the other clubs/pubs apply for a 2am licence the court will be obliged to award it.

This is why the clubs/pubs were giving the Roisin the credit, and rightly so.

20% eh? and people claiming this was been overblown.

What the judge actually said was that Gardaí have ignored 2am closing for 14 years and effectively a precedent was set. Evidence was given by Simon Heaslip if the Roisin and Maurice Gillen of Electric Garden and Halo. There's a court report in the tribune today
