A major change has been announced for alcohol sale hours in supermarkets.
Shops like SuperValu, Tesco, Dunnes and other Irish supermarkets will be able to sell alcohol from 10.30am on Sundays as part of the new nightlife rule changes. The current laws state supermarkets can't sell alcohol until 12.30pm on Sundays.
The new General Scheme of the Sale of Alcohol Bill, which was published this week, is expected to give a much-needed boost to Ireland's night-time economy by reforming licensing laws. The new legislation is expected to come into effect next year.
