Rejected petition Amend Easter pub opening hours in NI so everyone can have a half daycent wee sup

I was out in Portstewart on Easter Sunday and I tried to get a pint after 10pm and my local barman, Jody, informed me that he could not pour me a pint as it would be against the law. Alas, I shook my head and then realised I would have to go home without that one last pint. It was a long walk home.
