Publicans serve up a great Good Friday

Yesterday morning was like any other Friday for Charlie’s, the early house on Union Quay.

“Bright and early, 7 o’clock,” Eamon said from behind the bar when asked if they opened as usual yesterday, the first Good Friday since 1927 on which pubs could open.

“There was a big enough crowd here. John, who works in the morning, had to kick out eight or nine fellas, drunks from last night, which is normal, people who had been out all night.”
