What's open on Good Friday in Cork?
Good Friday in Ireland closes banks and government offices. Most supermarkets and shops open with reduced hours, and the traditional ban on alcohol sales was lifted in 2018. In Cork, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
