No, just to give two fingers to the Catholic Church. All that anger can not be healthy

Only advantage is that I didnt have to plan ahead and go out and buy them earlier tonight :pac: The publicans seem to think this will be as big as Paddys weekend. I wouldnt be so sure, especially not at 6 lids a pint.

I’m glad that they’ll be able to go get more booze if they want. To the naysayers who thought that the pressure to end the ban showed up our dependency - no, it just means people can socialise as normal with having to plan ahead.
