From 1927 to 2018 every pub in Ireland was bound by law to close their doors on Good Friday. Not a drop of alcohol was to be found in the country. Not legally anyway. In this episode we explore the legal loopholes around the ban, the hilarious stories of the publicans who were caught opening, and the day that the curtain came down on the law.
