There are major changes due to come into effect in Ireland in relation to the sale of alcohol in bars, pubs, supermarkets, and off licences on weekends and public holidays.
These changes will mark a major extension to the existing hours during which alcohol can be sold - but will not come into law until 2023.
It is understood that supermarkets and off-licences will be able to open their doors to sell alcohol from 10.30 am every morning - including Sundays.

However, until this time the laws currently advise that supermarkets and off-licences cannot sell alcohol until 10:30 am on weekdays and 12.30 pm on Sundays.
Stores across the country are operating on reduced hours due to the Bank Holiday Monday, and in some cases so too are off-licences.
They are allowed to open on Bank Holiday Mondays from 10:30 am and are able to remain open until 10:00 pm.
Whether or not your local off-licence keeps to those hours is down to the management in-store.
Some open at 10:30 am on the dot to allow for sales until 10:00 pm, however, others such as O’Brien’s off-licence will not open until 11:00 am and is due to close at 8:00 pm.
Each off-licence will have noted on its website or google business page whether or not it will be changing its hours today.
