Make St Patrick’s Day a public holiday

Petition Details

Well historically a significant proportion of people from Northern Ireland have adhered to 12th of July celebrations against their will but we still go along with it thinking it’s the way things should be.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

St Patrick's day is already a bank holiday in Northern Ireland, we're therefore not exactly sure what you'd like to happen.

You can find out more about bank and public holidays here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
