These can't come soon enough...
We know, we know – you're currently lying in the fetal position on your sofa, weeping silently to yourself, wearing those new Christmas slippers that are slightly too tight on your feet, with only the shitty leftover coffee Roses to keep you company.
We feel your pain.
Fear not though, for there is light at the end of this dark, New Year, back-to-work tunnel, and that light is this list of Bank Holiday and Easter dates for the rest of the year, in both the north and south of Ireland.
Be strong, get planning and let's kick the crap out of 2017 together.
And remember,
here's how you can get 18 days off while using only nine days of holidays.
