Calls for pubs to remain open on Good Friday

Pubs closing on Good Friday costs the exchequer around 6 million euro a year, according to lobby groups.

They're calling for the ban on selling alcohol on Good Friday to be lifted. 

Publicans have been making the call for a number of years, and say dealing with politicians on the issue is like living in 'never-never land'.

Padraig Cribben, CEO of the Vintner's Federation of Ireland, says the laws are archaic - and it's time to change them.
