Would it kill them to give us a bank holiday on a Friday between June and August?
Celebrate front line workers.
Anything but pay them. Probably won’t even get double time for working it!
Technically a public holday not a bank holiday.
Good Friday is a bank holiday and not a public holiday, and so isn’t counted as one of the 9 holidays mentioned in the article. Good Friday has no legislation behind it as a day off, hence some companies take it off (as a “company day”) and some don’t.
Still, would be nice to have a couple of extra days.
And because I had to look it up, St. Brigid’s Day is Feb 1st, and is also the festival of Imbolc (the end of Winter and start of Spring), so it’s nice to acknowledge that.
What year is it again?
Are we not getting an extra one at all this year ?
Government to propose, proposing to think of a new bank holiday for 2024, in 2023
God, the amount of people online saying this violates ‘separation of Church and state’, how to these people manage to survive day to day.
Ye should do it, over here in the US there’s one each in Jan and Feb and it makes the grimness of the first 3 months of the year a lot easier to bear.
Bank Holiday at the start of February would be great,maybe even last Monday of January.
It’s an awful long and dull period from new years to Paddy’s day,be a nice break.
Would really prefer it on a Monday and not moving with St Brigid’s Day.
Irelands first abortionist. They would probably jail her today.
another religious holiday, its a miracle
A celebration of the women of Ireland is no bad thing.
Would the preceding evening be a good night for single fellas to go out on the pull ?
I think we should have 365 public holidays a year.
Yup outta that…. birthday off work for the foreseeable future….
Yeah but where the fuck is the extra bank holiday we were promised for 2022?
