St. Patrick's Day

Beannachtaí na Féile Padraig daoibh go léir.   (Happy St. Patrick's Day to all)

Because St. Patrick's Day falls on the Monday of Holy Week this year, it will not be celebrated as a Holyday of Obligation as is normally done.   Instead St. Patrick's Day, this year, will be celebrated on Saturday 15th March, as a major feast but not as a Holyday of Obligation.    Monday 17th will still be a Bank Holiday.
