Well, according to this list of Irish public holidays which we spotted on the Irish Mirror today, the next public holiday is a long way off.
St. Patrick's Day on the seventeenth of March is the next public day off, yes that's right - eleven weeks away.
There are nine public holidays altogether in 2016, with New Year's day being the first - meaning there's a remainder of eight days.
Here are the eight public holidays in the diary for this year:
Thursday, March 17 - St Patrick's Day
Monday, March 28 - Easter Monday
Monday, May 2 - May Day
Monday, June 6 - June Bank Holiday
Monday, August 1 - August Bank Holiday
Monday, October 31 - October Bank Holiday
Monday, December 26 - Christmas (observed)
Tuesday December 27 - St Stephen's Day (observed)
The Christmas and St. Stephens Day holidays are observed a day late as they fall on weekend/bank holiday days.
