    Of course you can. There are noly two days of the year that you cannot. This is far from a day on which you cannot buy drink.

    There are some towns that have been told by their local Gardi to close their off-licences on the day or after certain hours.
    Ours is one such example. I think they are trying to see will it cut down on the youth drinking on this particular day compared to last year (where there was serious trouble).

    There was a sing in the windows of Dunnes on Georges street say the offo' is open from 15:00 till 22:00 iirc.

    It's only dry Friday they have a total fan, today it's just till the parade is finished.

    I think they may have one year banned selling drink until after the parade in Dublin but apart from that..... yeh - of course you can buy drink in the offy - it's Paddy's day for flip sake - the one day you HAVE to be allowed to drink!
