    Hi

    TESCO Galway closed @ 21.00 on sunday night? WTF i thought its meant to be 24 hours? Wanted to get me spuds and beans.....AH well....

    Have they given up on the 24 hour idea??? If so they should have put up a few notices as there was nothing on the windows and the doors were locked and not a sinner in sight

    Any ideas anyone???

    Thats the same as the 24h Tesco in Wilton, Cork. Its a pity really as the only time I'd have use for a 24h shop is at the weekend when they all seem to close.

    Is this 24 hour thing long term or just for the run up to christmas? Could be handy for late night booze...

    Tesco Wilton has been doing it since they opened, which I guess is about a year? And supermarkets are subject to the licencing laws like everyone else, they don't serve alcohol after hours.

    Newbridge closed at 7pm tonight as usual

    despite a rumour that they would be going 24/7 instead of 24/5 in the run up to Christmas

    had to go to the chipper for my dinner :D

    Tesco, Ennis is the same. 24/5 not 24/7. It's probably because people with a few drinkie poos in them on a Sat/Sun night could get a brainwave and decide to go to tesco for more booze that it closes earlier those nights!

    They won't go 24/7 - even the 24 Hour stores in the UK don't open 24/7 - Sunday will always see them close earlier. I'd imagine it's something to do with licensing laws.

    Why would the licencing laws only effect them on Saturday and Sunday?

    True, I popped in to the Galway on thursday night (well, 1:30 friday morning), and the whole alcohol aisle was blocked up with fences and cordons.

    It was all very depressing, really.

    now if only Tescos down the road from me would go 24 hours that would be great, working till midnight some weeks is a pain in the arse and Ardkeen is too far on a bicycle

    Tesco is open 24 hours on a Sunday in Galway. It's just that some of the hours run concurrently.

    The vast majority (if not all) of Tesco stores close on Sunday night. The other one I've used is Maynooth which is 24/6 closing Sunday at 19.00 and reopening Monday at 08.00.

    As far as I know the 24/5 opening in Galway is permenant. As far as I remember they have run 24 hour opening at Christmas in the past.
