Pub laws in Ireland require a 12:30 closing time (most pubs close around 11:30 on weekdays, not sure if that's law or choice). Late licenses can be purchased which allow for service up until 2:30.

You'd be surprised to hear us Irish do a bit more than drinking and fighting in real life.

Out of curiosity does a public holiday fall under weekend laws or is it down to the day it's on?

Ah fair! My apologies, it's quite the offensive stereotype so I was a bit over defensive to your original comment!
