Republic of Ireland pubs lift Good Friday alcohol ban – should NI do the same? #BBCNolan

Good news on Good Friday. That's if you're going down south and want a pint or glass of wine.

For the first time in nearly 100 years, pubs in the Republic can sell alcohol today. It's after the Dail voted in new legislation lifting a 90 year ban on the sale of alcohol on religious holidays.

Pubs in the south will open from 10:30 am. Closing time is 12.30 tonight.

In Northern Ireland there's no change. Pubs can open on Good Friday but can only serve alcohol between 5 pm and 11 pm. But should we follow the republic's lead?
