A Conversation for Galway City, County Galway, Ireland
Licensing Laws
Paranoid Android Started conversation Dec 6, 2000
The actual licensing laws havn't changed yet (publicans have a LOT of political pull in Ireland),
however the closing hours have been altered from 11 p.m. in winter and 11:30 p.m. in summer
to 12:30 a.m on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, 11:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights and 11 p.m. on Sunday nights all year round.
Nightclubs are now lobbying for similar increases in their opening hours (although Judge Garavan
among others are intent on denying this if possible) as since the law changed they claim to have
lost 40% of their business. If pubs were available 24 hours a day, no one doubts they would lose
even more....
