Surely a holiday will cost millions by definition?
Open the pubs for a bit longer than 2 hours a day and it should cover it
Some TD suggested there should be a Bank Holiday to coincide with the Late Late Toy Show every year 
Senator. About as relevant as some of the lads on here.
While are at it
It would be tree-mendous.
Have they completely ignored all the talk of the extra bank holiday? Imho it was a distraction for FFG and to try and get a bump in polls while actually doing fuck all
Is it not the Friday after Patrick’s Day?
…
Nothing confirmed anyway it just disappeared from the headlines
We missed thanksgiving 
St Brigid turning in her grave as we speak
Lads who’ve hardly done a full days work for two years looking for a Bank Holiday.

Varadkar on the radio just there said we’re getting an extra day for Patrick’s Day this year and after that it’ll be a new one for Brigid’s day.

Fair enough as long as it is permanent. I assume the St brigets day one will be the first Monday of February? Having it slap bang in the middle of a week is a pain in the hole but the ideal time of year.
Good move and long overdue
Lovely that’ll drive the usual suspects demented. We’ll surely be back rocking and rolling by Paddys day. Cheltenham would fall lovely

Badly needed. They should move Paddy’s day to the closest Monday/Friday as well, pointless having it midweek

No, it needs to be held on the exact date St Patrick drove the snakes over the cliffs of Moher, otherwise it would lose all meaning.

Great to see the government acknowledge Cheltenham and the importance off it to the Irish people.
