New Bank Holiday welcomed

Bernadette Randles of the Kerry branch of the Irish Hotel Federation has welcomed the announcement of a new Bank Holiday.
Friday March 18, the day after St Patrick’s Day has been deemed a bank holiday, resulting in four days off for many workers.
The announcement was made on Wednesday this week and while the additional bank holiday is a one-off this year and new annual holiday has also been announced to coincide with St Brigid’s Day – February 1 – from 2023 onwards.
Ms Randles said its good news, not just from a hotel and tourism point of view but it will also give people a welcome break after two very difficult years since the onslaught of the pandemic.
“It is good for hotels, if people want to get away for a few days,” she told the Killarney Advertiser.
“But it is good for people too, if they just want to stay at home, they deserve this."
