Ireland need to win two games to qualify for the World Cup.
The former president of the Vintners Federation of Ireland believes opening pubs for World Cup games in the summer is a possibility.
Ireland need to win two games in March in order to qualify for the tournament in the US this summer, with all three of their potential games set to take place in the early hours of the morning.
Games against South Korea and Mexico will begin at 2am and 3am Irish time, with the South Africa fixture set for a 5pm kick off time.
Ex publican, and Fine Gael TD for Offaly John Clendennen says he's open to the idea:
