The Irish Times view on the August bank holiday: a weekend to rest easy
In 1924, the leader of the Irish Labour Party, Thomas Johnson, told the Dáil 'a man is easier in his mind when he is getting a holiday if he is getting his pay for the same day'. His remarks came during a debate on the Public Holidays Bill, repealing nineteenth century British legislation which also covered Ireland, relating to four bank holidays: 26th December, Easter Monday, Whit Monday and the first Monday in August. St Patrick's Day had been designated a bank holiday in 1903 by the Westminster parliament. The 1924 Act gave power to the government of the new Irish Free State 'to appoint any particular day to be observed as a bank holiday.' Johnson's plea was that 'workmen who are given a holiday by statute… shall have their day's pay for that holiday.' While that request was not acceded to then, further legislation in 1939 established workers' entitlement to paid leave, with six bank holidays legally established: Christmas Day, St Stephen's Day, St Patrick's Day, Easter Monday, Whit Monday and the first Monday in August. New Year's Day and the October holiday were added in the 1970s, while in 1993 the May holiday was introduced. The most recent public holiday was established in 2022, St Brigid's Day, which also marked the Celtic festival of Imbolc, traditionally acknowledging the commencement of Spring. It was the first Irish public holiday named after a woman. We use the terms bank holiday and public holiday interchangeably, but our laws refer only to public holidays. Collectively, these days arise from inheritance, independent statehood and our distinctive traditions; historically, there were rest and feast days, and celebrations marking seasons, harvests and saints. READ MORE Some may regard the plethora of public holidays, including this weekends August Bank Holiday, as indulgent. But with ten public holidays, Ireland falls below the EU annual average of twelve, and the Irish, working an average 39 hours a week, toil at a higher rate than the EU average of 37.8 hours, allowing workers benefiting from this weekend to be easy in their minds.

Working for Tesco saved my football career – I've gone from doing click and collect at 5am to League Two stalwart
LUKE HANNANT returns to the EFL today at the age of 31 with Oldham — admitting: Working for Tesco saved my football career.' The ex-Port Vale, Cambridge and 5 Luke Hannant owes his career to Tesco Credit: Getty 5 Tesco superstore near Dunstan Hall, Norwich, where Luke Hannant worked 5 Luke Hannant is back in the EFL this season with newly-promoted Oldham Athletic Credit: OLDHAM ATHLETIC FC Play Dream Team now! Play The Sun Dream Team ahead of the 2025/26 season Free to play Over £100,000 in total prize money Play in Mini Leagues against your mates Submit a team for Gameweek 1 to enter £5,000 prize draw But today he is set to pull on an Oldham jersey as they travel to big-spending MK Dons for their League Two opener. Yet Hannant had no concerns about dropping out of the EFL after not being offered a new deal at Colchester — having done the same when he was released by Cambridge as an 18-year-old. Rather than feeling sorry for himself he rolled up his sleeves, enrolled to do a three-year Sport, Exercise and Science degree at Northumbria University while working in a superstore and playing part-time for Dereham Town. And his story can give a lot of comfort to the several hundred young footballers who are released by Premier League and EFL academies each year. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL He told SunSport: 'I was working at Tesco in Norwich and loved it. 'It was a shock for me at the time. I had to drop my ego because I didn't have any income. 'So I thought, 'I'm just going to work at Tesco and play semi-professional football on the side. 'At Tesco I did everything and anything. Honestly, I was on the tills, I was doing click and collect. I used to get up at five in the morning and then finish at two or three. Most read in Football BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'I'd be doing people shopping in the morning and then going to train twice a week. 'At that age, I was earning more money working at Tesco than I was on my scholarship at Cambridge. So I was saving more money and was able to fund my university fees. Former Premier League club closing in on return to EFL despite finishing 23 POINTS behind play-off opponents 5 Luke Hannant celebrates scoring during his time with Cambridge United Credit: PA 'It was a good fun time of my life. I'm not embarrassed to tell people what I was doing in the early part of my football career, 'I was working at Tesco mate!' 'That ended up giving me the football career I had because I enjoyed those years of my life without having a ridiculous amount of pressure that a lot of academy players have to deal with.' Hannant ended up spending two years with Gateshead before Port Vale snapped him up in 2018 when he was aged 24 and made 68 appearances for the then League Two club. He moved to Cambridge and featured in 77 games, winning promotion from League Two in 2021. But, with the benefit of hindsight, he made a mistake by not signing a new deal and playing League One football in favour of a bigger pay cheque with Colchester in the fourth tier. He said: 'Because I'd come from working at Tesco and earning a modest income, I was waiting for a deal that I deserved and had worked hard for. 'If I look back, do I regret it? Maybe there's a little part of me that does because I'd have wanted to try and play in League One and play against some of them big clubs. But you can't live in regret.' Hannant had initially come through the youth ranks at Norwich where he was from the ages of nine to almost 15. And during that time he struck up a good friendship with former Norwich and 5 Norwich star Gary Holt tries to stop Arsenal's Freddie Ljungberg in his tracks Hannant said: 'Gary lived in my village. We shared lifts so he'd take me into training if he ever had to go in. 'He'd be out going on a run and he'd be knocking on my door saying, 'Do you want to come?' But I said, 'I can't keep up with you Gary.' 'And he was like, 'Get on your bike, mate.' So I used to bike next to him as he ran around the village. I had to chase him on my bike too! He was so fast. So today Hannant is grateful he gets another shot at the EFL while Oldham fans are finally happy after Hannant, who was born in 1993 during Oldham's last season in the top flight, said: 'Last time I checked we'd sold almost 2,000 tickets to go to Milton Keynes . That is massive. There's a lot of confidence in the camp and if we can be consistent then we can have a strong season.'
