    As far as I know Hotels are the only place in Ireland allowed serve alcohol on Good Friday, ye gotta be a resident.

    Funnily enough... I was in Rome last week at easter Week!! On GOOD FRIDAY (!!!) we were in a restaurant 5 mins walk from the Colosseum were the Pope was doing an Easter Vigil Mass & we were served wine, everyone was drinking it!! Crazy!! Coz we had actually gone an bought a bottle in the shop on Holy Thursday to have the following night after dinner!! Crazy!!

    What about trains...? I think trains and train stations have some sort of exemption as well.

    Yeah they do. So to drink on Good Friday you need to either book into a hotel or go for a bit of a trip on an inter city train. :D

    I've heard a pub has to serve you if you have a swan wrapped around your ankles as swans are considered magic in the eyes of the law.
