The Restaurants Association of Ireland is calling for the law to be changed, branding it 'unacceptable' in a multi-cultural and multi-religious society.

They're citing the exceptions made for certain venues which have been granted a licence to serve alcohol on Good Friday, including some greyhound stadiums.

It comes as a new survey by Ignite finds that one in three people say the ban should be lifted.
