Supermarket opening - Good Friday

[europhile]

Does anybody know if Superquinn, Tesco, Dunnes or M&S are open today? Many thanks.

They all are as far as I know and from the ads I have heard on the radio

I think there are restrictions on alcohol sales though - not sure of timings.

Thanks. Yes, I know that alcohol can't be bought today in supermarkets, etc, I just wasn't sure if the supermarkets opened or not.

Well, Tesco is open.

Most supermarkets are open today but if they have an off-licence part that will be closed off as no alcohol can be sold on Good Friday.

A lot of the bigger supermarkets will be closed on Easter Sunday, so watch out for that!

When I was in Sydney a few years ago, the pubs were open on Good Friday but the supermarkets were shut.

I thought it was funny that I could buy a pint but not a loaf of bread!!

Its a bit late now, but next year there will be a mass exodus to Aussie land based on that information.

Last Easter Sunday I went into a number of convenience stores and I could not find bread anywhere. Obviously all stocks flew off the shelves on Easter Saturday. You would think that these shops would order in extra bread for a bank holiday weekend. But I could get any amount of alcohol I wanted. Practically falling over pallets of beer and lager.
