Good Friday in N Ireland
The world and her granny get Good Friday and Easter Monday off as public holidays. In the six northern counties of Ireland, things are different. There, Good Friday is an ordinary working day and Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday are public holidays.



The reason? Because Easter Tuesday heralds the start of the Marching Season, so we get the Tuesday off to watch or participate in the parades.

What do you all think of this?
