Trade Counter/Internal Sales Person Government agrees a New Public Holiday ‒The Government has agreed to designate a once-off public holiday on Friday 18th March 2022 in recognition of the efforts of the general public, volunteers and all workers during the Covid-19 pandemic, and in remembrance of people who lost their lives due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Announcing the new public holiday, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment Leo Varadkar said: “A onceoff public holiday, a Day of Remembrance and Recognition, will be held in memory of the more than 9,000 people who have died on the island of Ireland with Covid". He continued, "This will be held on Friday, March 18th. It means that we will have a four-day weekend because March 17th, St Patrick’s Day, is already a public holiday. It will also recognise, and say thank you, to the volunteers, the Irish people, and to the workers who gave their all in the fight against Covid. We decided to make this decision now on a public holiday, rather than wait until the pandemic is over, because so many have already given so much. It also roughly marks the second anniversary of the beginning of the pandemic in Ireland". From next year 2023, Ireland will then have an extra public holiday at the start of February to mark Imbolc/St Brigid’s day. It will be observed on the first Monday of February except where the 1st of February falls on a Friday in which case it will be observed on that day. The creation of a tenth public holiday will bring Ireland more into line with the European average.
