An extra bank holiday looks certain
Now, possible dates feb 1st, late November to correspond with Thanksgiving day, somebody on radio suggested 12th July
In preparation for a United Ireland, speaking of which should we start a thread on this?

Are we getting one this year?

I love the narrative around it. Worth €20 billion for tourism, and we're giving back to all the people who worked hard throughout Covid.

Tell that to the lads clearing tables for €10.20 an hour until all hours of the night during our new Bank Holiday.

Hopefully this goes through, the teachers deserve an extra day off

All in favour of it. We have one of the lowest public holiday numbers in the EU.
