The Restaurants Association of Ireland has criticised what it describes as the “outdated and archaic” ban on alcohol sales on Good Friday.
The group said the law is unacceptable, claiming it affects Ireland’s image abroad, as well as internal business.
“The restaurant sector is the biggest employer within the hospitality industry,” said chief executive Adrian Cummins. “This law affects more that just the diners who want a drink, it affects thousands of people on a busy weekend when restaurants simply won’t open.”
Many restaurants decided not to open today as they could not sell alcohol or permit its consumption on their premises.
