Publicans in Limerick go to the courts later this morning to be allowed to open their doors on Good Friday.

The publicans say a sell-out Magners League rugby clash between Munster and Leinster which takes place in Limerick on the day will generate millions for the local econonomy and they want a slice of the pie.

The application at Limerick District Court will test the country's liquor licencing laws, which prohibits pubs from opening on Good Friday and Christmas Day.
