Republic of Ireland pubs lift Good Friday alcohol ban – should NI do the same?
Good news on Good Friday. That's if you're going down south and want a pint or glass of wine.
For the first time in nearly 100 years, pubs in the Republic can sell alcohol today. It's after the Dail voted in new legislation lifting a 90 year ban on the sale of alcohol on religious holidays.
Pubs in the south will open from 10:30 am. Closing time is 12.30 tonight.
In Northern Ireland there's no change. Pubs can open on Good Friday but can only serve alcohol between 5 pm and 11 pm. But should we follow the republic's lead?

Ireland’s first ever nudist beach set to open – would you get your kit off by the sea?

The first nude beach on the island of Ireland will officially open at Hawk Cliff in Dalkey, south Dublin in April.
Maybe its time for a Nolan Show road trip? 
Maybe we should look into a naked nook - on Portrush beach?
