Sunday pub opening hours 1972

Locals in Wicklow Town shared their views on whether pubs should stay open an extra hour on Sunday nights. Opinions were divided—some welcomed the idea, while others felt the 10 pm closing time was already late enough. Two priests questioned the impact on tourism, suggesting more consistent hours throughout the week might be more effective. The debate highlighted broader tensions around social change and traditional values. (Broadcast on 8 March 1972.)
