Be nice to have a long, long weekend in March! Nice to have an extra bank holiday too going forward, but not too excited about the proposal. Don't think it should have had any religious connections to be honest but mainly don't think it should have been at such a miserable time of year! Either way, extra day off

The new public holiday has nothing to do with religion. Every day of the year has one or more Saints attributed to it. 1st of February just so happens to be St Brigids day.
Anyway I'm all for more public holidays

Can’t see how this new Bank holiday will recognise frontline workers as most of them will have to work the bank holiday Hospital staff, Supermarket workers etc. Certainly no benefits for them it’s just another day off for the people who stayed at home during the pandemic.

I tend to agree all Frontline/ Essential workers should Just be given an Extra days paid holiday next year to be taken when they wish to reward them.

I worked throughout the Pandemic also so delighted to get an extra days pay and if I end up being rosterd in on the new BH an extra days leave on top of the double time.

I got a 'Wellness day' whereby you take a day off to look after yourself.
I took mine after the last Ireland game whereby I spent the day rolling around the sack in an absolute heap

Pain in the hole that it will rotate day each year. Same with Paddy's Day. It was brilliant when they moved it to June for a one off due to foot and mouth years ago. A poxy Tuesday/Wednesday in March some years

Would prefer a double holiday in March.
No sense in a rotating day either. Fix it for a Monday if it needs to be February.

It's just the closest Monday to the day, think it's a good time for it, a long stretch between New year and Paddy's

That's grand if it is indeed the case. Doubt they even know themselves. Winging it.
