DUBLIN — As long as Ireland has had pubs, Good Friday has been off-limits as a “dry” holy day — until now.
A Limerick judge ruled Thursday that the city’s 110 pubs can open April 2 because the city is hosting a major Irish rugby match attracting tens of thousands of visitors. This will be the first time in the history of the Republic of Ireland that pubs anywhere in the country will open on Good Friday.
