Court allows Limerick pubs to open on Good Friday
A group of Limerick publicans have been successful in their bid to sell alcohol on Good Friday.
They went to court to try and get an exemption from the law on the grounds that a Magners League rugby match at Thomond Park between Munster and Leinster was a 'special event'.
They will now be able to sell drink between the hours of 6pm and 11.30pm tomorrow week, bringing in millions in revenue.
The match kicks off at 8.05pm that evening.
