I'm going to be in Ireland over Easter, and here's what I've been told. Everything will be closed - including pubs and shops - on Good Friday, but pubs are open on Easter itself. So, I'm planning to gas up on the Thursday before and buy something for lunch on Friday and I guess Ill hope to find a hotel restaurant for dinner or something for that evening. I'm flying back on Easter Monday, so I've checked to be sure that the ferry I need to take is running on Easter, and am hoping the gas stations will be open as well.

I hope this helps, Susan from Maryland
