    12 on the nose. I think the Gardai are generally very fast to do checks as well.

    The queues at off licenses always amuse me on Holy Thursday. You would swear it was armageddon :)

    It's the biggest day of the year for off-licence sales!

    Generally stop serving at 11:30pm and everyone out by midnight.

    Off-licenses close at 10pm.

    Happens more out in suburban/rural areas. Wouldn't be worth the time or money for any city bar to do it. They'd need a late license too as well as staff/bouncers etc.
