    I have my teabags stockpiled for today.

    I hate alcohol, such an over rated product, waste of money but I suppose the taxes will help to pay for the bank bailouts :P
    The atheists like Eamon Gilmore in government will thank you :pac:

    I know, my post made too much sense.

    I bet others were too busy buying alcohol and forgot the teabags.

    See folks this is what happens when you tell people not to do something, they want to do it even more.

    I hate the fact that stupid laws like offo's are to close at 10pm instead of 11pm are in... and even tho its poxy and serves no real purpose to anything, no-one in government has the sack to undo it.

    I'm fcuking sick of the do-gooders in this country!

    I seriously fear for future generations

    I personally like the beer but I do understand you're point as in 'it is over-rated' and it is. whatever a person is happy with is the key.

    Ok, for the people who don't like being told that they're not allowed to purchase alcohol on Good Friday due to a religious belief. Do ye work in jobs that give ye this day off? How about Christmas? Should we be allowed purchase alcohol on Christmas too?

    It doesn't bother me either way (i don't get a choice for public/bank/religious holidays). But if people want the law changed that they want to buy alcohol on these days, then it shouldn't be a public holiday. Simples.

    Que people saying that these were hipster pagan festivals first and they ridicule the Christian traditions but sure i'm entitled to a day off becuase I engage in a good ould wickerman burning and the slaughtering of a few goats.

    Why isn't the non sale of meat enforced as well?

    That's a good question, because it should be. It fuçking should be. Personally I wouldn't be seen eating meat on good Friday and I believe that my religious choices should be imposed on others. It's just one day a year when we honour our God, if you can't manage that, believer or otherwise, then it's a sad state of affairs. If I saw somebody eating meat today I'd scream at them.

    This, ladies and gentlemen, is expert trolling.

    I have to work today - standard office day here.

    My personal belief is that there should be no government restrictions on the private transactions between two individuals. If a pub landlord and/or an off-licence owner has personal moral issues selling alcohol on a "special day" (or at a "special time"), then they can stop selling themselves. What I object to is government nannying to enforce the religious beliefs of others onto me.

    Similarly with Christmas - if person A wants to purchase alcohol, and person B wants to sell alcohol, the only people that should restrict this purchase should be persons A or B - what business is it of yours (or mine)?
    The other difference between the Good Friday sales restriction and Christmas, is that, in general, you can by (almost) everything else today, but virtually all shops are closed on Christmas day.

    As for whether or not it should be a public holiday - it isn't one of the official holidays in this country.

    A bit too obvious, wont get enough bites.
    Anyhow, I didn't pack a lunch today on purpose, had a lovely Centra breakfast roll there at 8am & down to the chipper for a quarter pounder at lunchtime.
    Fridge is stocked with tinnies & wine, tonight's gonna be a good night.

    Can the Irish not live without Alcohol for one bloody day.

    Wow can society not be held back by myths and fairytales, and the rules of the organisation responsible for the myths imposing their fairytale on the rest of the populus in a supposedly "secular" society.

    Yes, I can easily, and do most days, but I'd like to decide those days myself and not have a church I don't believe in tell me so!

    I always make a point of drinking alcohol and eating meat on Good Friday because I have been told I'm not to!

    Nah it's too blatant to actually be trolling, very much tongue in cheek. Surprised some people can't take a joke.

    :confused:

    What?? Why the hell not? All the shops are open, its completely normal for the service industries to run on bank holidays when other industries give days off.

    Ever here of a place called Britain? Seems to work just fine there.

    Bizarre, nonsensical post.
