My son was born on St Patrick's day, all the nurses wanted to call him Patrick, we'd already decided he was a Conor!

Thanks Theo - I work for a foreign company so no bank holiday for me.  :-\

Apparently Limerick had the largest parade in Ireland yesterday.  :)

You should sort your company out  ;D

I work for a United Arab Emirates Company; and I get all the Catholic Holidays (Christmas and Easter)  :)as well as all Islamic Festivals (and there are many).  :D ;D

When I worked for an English Company (Building) that employed a lot of Irish St. Patricks day was a no work day for everyone that wanted it off. The unspoken condition was that you had to go drinking  :o ;D :) ;)

But you are in Ireland and St Patrick's day is a holiday in Ireland! Whatever happened to "when in Rome...." and all that?  ???
