Cue the annual "Should pubs be closed on Good Friday?" thread.

Bob Harris

Pubs are open one more Friday of the year.
Woohoo.

Looks like half the country gonna rise from the dead the next day so...

Oh dear, no more drama anymore and people who normally have a few drinks at home on a Friday anyway making a big deal of having to 'stock up' on cans at 10pm on Holy Thursday.

I completely disagree with closing a business because of religious purposes. But seriously, it’s one day a year to let the staff have a Friday off. They work unsociable hours all year, the one day a year was a deserved break

The airport and train stations will be empty now as the alcos can go hang at the end of their usual bar...

The power of lobbying.

There was a lot of 'will someone think of the poor tourists.... God love them'.

Phew - the publicans are saved!

Means Good friday is becoming another regular day in the calendar. All us non public sector workers will now lose our unofficial day off.....just like 6th december.

Careful what you wish for boardsies. Law of unexpected consequences at work here

It used to be a nice little 4 day weekend for hospitality staff the same as it is for a lot of other workers in the country.
But not any more.
But hey! As long as we stuck it to those evil archbishops then that’s the main thing...isn’t it?

I have never had Good Friday off. In office work and labouring on sites.

"eugh can Irish people just not drink for one day"

Sure. Depends on who's asking us not to, though.

But they'd be working the other 3 days anyway??

One thing i would have done is to extend the Christmas day closure until 12.30pm on Stephens Day to stop the ridiculous nonsense that happened in Donegal of nightclubs opening just after midnight. The workers in that case should have had the right to fully enjoy their day off.

Nothing stopping a bar or hotel from closing for a day or two to give their staff a day off

Whaaat??? But what about all the people who want to make a point by going to the pub on Good Friday, whether it really suits them to go or not.
