Off-licences across the country this St Patrick's Day will open their doors later than expected.
Alcohol can be sold in off-licences from 10.30am Monday to Saturday, but that changes to 12.30pm on Sunday’s and St Patrick’s Day.
While those looking to purchase alcohol from an off-licence in Dublin city centre will find that they are subject to a 'voluntary ban' which will not see them open until 4pm in the afternoon due to the parade and festivities.
