It's 7am and this Dublin pub is beginning to fill up on Good Friday for the first time - but is it as much fun? Conor is in his late 20s, and is not long out of the well-known Dublin nightclub, Coppers. "It’s a big occasion," says Hugh Hourican, who took over the pub with his wife Ann back in 1994. “Consumption of beer on Good Fridays at home; the figures are very high.” But will drinking on Good Friday be as fun as it used to be? She looks forward to spilling her Good Friday stories to the tourists that’ll come to the pub today.
