Many people who receive social welfare will see changes to their usual payment dates because of the upcoming February bank holiday.
Ireland’s first ever February bank holiday is just weeks away, after a new permanent one was announced last year to celebrate St Brigid's Day.
It will be held annually on the first Monday in February. St Brigid's Day, February 1, falls on a Wednesday this year, meaning the Bank Holiday will be given on Monday, February 6.
