IRELAND’S NEWEST BANK Holiday to mark St Brigid’s Day was observed today.
The bank holiday is the first in Ireland held in honour of a woman and will be observed on the first Monday in February going forward.
Events have been taking place around the country to celebrate St Brigid, Ireland’s only female patron saint.
But how much do you know about her?

The Mosque incident in Dublin has managed for the most part to have stayed out of mainstream media.
There’s trouble brewing from within paradise.
@Maurice: If it was a Catholic organisation it would be given 160 legs. (€). They have magnified bad behaviour by 2% of sick evil men to damage 100% of Catholic clergy. They are scared to deal with Muslims.
@Maurice: I heard about it all on national broadcasting media. Seems mainstream to me. I wouldn’t view the internal issues of the Islamic Cultural Centre necessarily mainstream or broad-reaching anyway.
@Maurice: I hear Clonskeagh mosque has closed ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. A designated terrorist organisation
@Pelagius Asturias: *close
@Pelagius Asturias: You heard correctly!
Why is Palestine now not covered people are still being slaughtered.
And burning down of churches in Ireland over the past week.
@Be Lucky: One article about two nuclear armed neighbours with a long history of deep animosity (possibly posturing for war), and you’re here whingeing about palestine and churches. One article. Ffs.
@Be Lucky: always the same field, always the same seed. Antisemitism and hatred. Not all of Ireland needs to plant the same seed.
@Be Lucky: To hell with the Palestinian and Israeli hate fest, They’re as bad as each other. Why don’t ye head on over there and do something about it.
Muslims, nothing but trouble
@Pete Hickey: Spent this week’s disability benefit on fags and cans already, have we? Get a life. And a job.
@Pete Hickey: Zoom out. People avoiding logic and reason. You know it well. Many here do.
@Pete Hickey: Bigots also.
@Jack Hayes: Durka Durka Muhammad Jihad
@Wendy Arbour aka Luas Vuitton – Dub Drag Queen: How much do drag queens earn? Are you coming to grips with the truth that you’re really a man not a woman! Common sense has prevailed.
@Wendy Arbour aka Luas Vuitton – Dub Drag Queen: Get to grips with the fact you’re a man not a woman (reality).
I wonder how many new Irish will be arguing with other over this
@Tom L: you don’t know any Irish people, do you?
@Wendy Arbour aka Luas Vuitton – Dub Drag Queen: No such thing anymore, they’re Wokies now and you are the spokesman eh
@Tom L: ‘Wokies’. LOL What a developmentally stunted human you are.
@Tom L: Rather be woke than be a fascist
@Wendy Arbour aka Luas Vuitton – Dub Drag Queen: do you practice being an arrogant dosser
Muslims a great bunch of lads
Two nuclear powers falling out with each other, what could possibly go wrong?
Vance and his missus will sort that out.
You know what. Keep your sordid little wars over there in Asia and eastern Europe and the middle east and don’t involve any of the rest of us peace loving people in them. I for one am sick of it all. War is hell.
@Eamon: the irony of a Leeds fan talking about peace
@You Cant Be Serious: You can’t be serious.
We’re “going of the rails on a crazy train”
Pakistan is a rogue nation that should never have been created.
@Hunt Ley: you can thank the Brits for that
Everyone get their KI tablets ready.
And brine curing your household pets.
Well im up for India..Pakkkkkis are dirt..
@Pol O Nuanain: We have both in Ireland. They are well used to poverty, mayhem and overpopulation. Something that will slowly but surely make its way into Irish society.
have your say
