Daylight Savings - Pub/Nite club open an extra hour?

Pubs/clubs generally still close at the old time so staff are not affected. Close of business is when their times usually change, but not sure how official that is. Is there any alcohol licence in Ireland that goes past 2am? If not, then no one will get paid for the time change, only for time worked.
But if you're in a shift work job where the time change extends your working hours by an hour, then of course you should get paid for the time, but that would only happen when clocks go back, right.
I think my head is waking up now.
Might know where I was going with the first post now

Hmmm, maybe I should delete everything and not post again until the cobwebs are gone from my brain.

Some of the places I worked in we would have served to 2:30am (maybe a little longer). Basically what we did was just carry on as if the time hadn't changed at all. Obviously we couldn't change the time on the tills anyway and the guards didn't seem to care and of course the customers didn't. I have it in my head that I read something "official" about this once, but I can't remember exactly what it was or where I saw it. As you say, there's probably few places left that do legally serve after 2am anymore outside of Dublin at least so it's pretty much a non-issue.

To be honest I'd be in favour of doing away with daylight savings - it's archaic and has vastly outlived it's usefulness at this stage.

Thanks

You should clearly just keep ordering at the bar until they ask you to leave, as opposed to worrying about what time it is due to the clocks changing ... Monday comes around quick enough as is..
