Got excited by headline, then saw who is proposing it, quickly realized it doesn’t have a snowballs.

I propose that they propose a 4 day week. It’s about time.

>PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT is bringing forward legislation to introduce two extra bank holidays.
Some melt is going to be along and call everyone evil for agreeing with this 🤦

Pity it won’t go anywhere as it is a PBP bill but fair ple to them for consistency anyway.
Funnily enough, this is something that would likely win favour with restaurants, publicans, and hoteliers. Some dream team if they all came together for it!

Can PBP put forward a bill to help small businesses which will lose 2 days revenue due to this?

Make weekends great again.
For a four day week and a three day bender.

There’s already too many bank holidays. They should be reducing them not trying to add more..

4 day week (and not just for the public sector) and the 2 extra bank holidays
DangerMouthy on
July the 19th, why does that strike me as important?!
MrRijkaard on
The Greens got one by going into government (they wanted 4) .PBP could get two more by going into government but they won’t do that so don’t expect them anytime soon

That’s nice but we really just want wages that match inflation and fair & affordable housing.

One in July, one around the middle or end of September

This is going nowhere, just headlines for the media to stop talking about OPW wasting money, less houses being built this year and people without water and electricity.

Can we get a hospitality bank holiday? Bank holidays just mean more really busy days for retail and hospitality with no extra days off
RabbitOld5783 on
The last Monday in September would be great it can be a tough month with children back to school etc. September always feels very long.

What good is a bank holiday in November? cold bad weather and short daylight.
Would you rather no Bank holidays and up the minimum holiday entitlements to 35. Take days off when it suits you?

I’d consider running as a TD, just to get Feb 29th declared as a fkn mega bank holiday celebration. Anyone staff just has to suck it up as a gift back to your employer, I’d settle for an extra days leave in leap years. I’m not hardline like.

What about the time they promised extra pay for nurses during covid then just added a bank holiday in February . Government don’t or ever will give a fuck about ordinary people
QBaseX on
So the Greens want one in July, and PBP want one in each of September and November. Has either party said why?
Incidentally, the article says that 1 Feb is a bank holiday. It’s not. It’s 1 Feb if that date is either a Monday or a Friday; otherwise, it’s the first Monday in Feb. No other holiday on the calendar works like this.

Just means busier work for hospitality and retail workers.

Stick one in November miserable month could do with a BH to break it up

Both in July, give us all a 4 day weekend in the summer. 3 day session followed by 1 days rest

Where are they getting 11 public holidays from? We have 10.

Instead, let’s remove all bank holidays, but the weekend is now Friday -> Sunday, and all national holidays occur on Fridays.
Candid-Wolverine-417 on
Yes, please and I don’t care what month they fall in.
PaddyBee on
Sure we’ll just go to a 4 day week. Also keep the bank holidays to make them 3 day weeks!
Icy-Lab-2016 on
Good and we need one more in July as well.
Xeamus4Toes on
4 day work week instead?
BatesMSc on
I’m pro extra public holidays and days off in general, but I really hate calling them “bank” holidays. Can we just call them long weekends or jammy days instead?
