Good Friday pub opening ruling to be given tomorrow

PUBLICANS awaiting a court ruling with “bated breath”, will find out tomorrow if they can open on Good Friday for the big Munster versus Leinster game at Thomond Park.

After more than an hour and a half of legal arguments yesterday, Judge Tom O’Donnell adjourned his decision.

State solicitor Michael Murray on behalf of gardaí, objected to an application by Limerick publicans to open from 6pm to midnight on Good Friday, claiming that the game did not constitute a special event under the terms of drink laws.
