About fucking time,now let is grow the devils lettuce and we wont ever complain again.
About 10 years too late for me but happy for de yoot o today.
The things I saw when I worked in Galway city Supermacks when the clubs closed at 2. Like Dawn of the Dead every Thurs – Sat. 6 foot deep at the counter of schcuttered zombies looking for chips. Bout time they extended it. Anythings better than kicking all the kids out at the same time.
A 24 hour Dublin-Drogheda-Dundalk bus route and fixing our licensing laws are things I’ve been moaning about for years.
Never expected them to actually fix anything
Thumbs up for yokes.
This will be great for so many reasons.
Myself and a lot of people I know filled out the recent public consultation on licensing laws and this feels like they might actually be listening.
The days of having to sing “One more tune!” in a club before it was even 3 in the morning might finally be gone thank god
I actually thought it was an April fools 🤣
Many MANY years too late for me. If it’s a complete overhaul of all licensing laws, I hope they look at letting supermarkets sell alcohol earlier. This thing of having to wait until 10:30 is bollox.
Thought this was an April Fool, glad to see 2/4/22 on the article! Sounds like a good set of early proposals.
Shame that ending license extinguishment isn’t mentioned. The Vintners are surely lobbying hard against that, and it’s really important to be done away with. Write your TDs (especially the government ones) and Minister McEntee and ask that license extinguishment be done away with!
It’s unclear from the article, but is it suggesting that the alcohol serving time will stay the same (12.30am on Saturdays) but that the club itself can stay open until 6am? May as well set up a little hatch selling coke and pills if so
College morning lectures are gonna get a lot emptier.
Nice to see that Ireland is finally catching up with the rest of the world
6am? The walk of shame is going to be hilarious for those going to work.

Wow unreal. I was actually complaining last night to people about how silly it was our nanny state gave us such an early bedtime. Nice.
This is beyond hilarious considering the club scene in this country.
Galway is automatically out of the picture considering the last nightclub there closed this year.
Limerick only has 1-2 left last I checked.
Same deal for Dublin.
No clue about Cork.
There’ll be a queues at the deli for breakfast rolls now instead of queues in Abrekebabra for donar kebabs 😂
I expect there will be a few weeks of adjustment where a lot of people will come dangerously close to losing their jobs and being evicted, but then it will settle down and just feel normal and better. That’s what happened to me when I moved to Berlin 🙂
This is the best news I’ve heard in ages! They’ve been incredibly draconian about closing times since the end of lockdown, much much worse than pre-covid – even last weekend they closed the clubs an hour early because the clocks changed, in my 14 years of nightclub going I’ve literally never seen that happen. It was ridiculous, town was a predictable mess immediately afterwards because of it.
Hopefully they get this passed and into operation before the summer!
Can we get the bars open later I’m too old for clubs but still young enough for a late bar
Also I’d imagine there’s a lockout like nobody allowed in after 3 or something
Now my stimulant taking days are decades behind me at this stage so I don’t know what Clubbing is like these days but….
….I can imagine that very few places end up taking advantage of the 4 hour extension in nightclub hours. Will they make enough profit on bottles of water to pay for the extra staff wages/over-time…cause certainly back in my day it was only those groups of us taking Yokes who wanted to or had the energy to stay out till that hour of the morning.
Well done to Give Us The Night and all those who campaigned for this.
This should have happened 15-20 years ago when nite clubs and night life in Ireland was booming. Barely any nite clubs left in most towns across the country.
I rarely go to nightclubs but when I do I always try to leave at like a quarter to 2 so I can avoid the mad rush for a taxi home. Nice to think I won’t have that worry again.
The whole town spilling out onto the streets at the same time, drunk and impatient, waiting god knows how long for a kebab and then waiting another age for a taxi, creates circumstances for more violence. Fewer people at the same time means fewer fights
