Is Good Friday a bank holiday in Ireland?

Good Friday is a traditional day of rest, but not a public holiday. While some schools and businesses close on that day or close earlier than normal, you have no automatic entitlement to time off work on that day. Public transport services generally run to their usual timetables, but travellers should check these carefully.

Some companies give Good Friday as a company paid day but outside of that, it is officially considered a working day. However in the UK and NI, it is a Public/Bank Holiday.
