In an Ireland increasingly multinational and multi-faith over recent years, the national shutdown on the 25th comes as a bit of a shock, is quite difficult to justify, and may well be seen as rather backward by our non-national population. When the 26th arrives, normal life begins to gradually get back to normal.
Some still don't, but most now open for a limited time on the 26th. It's a huge sporting day after all, and that will always attract customers.

it is our belief that the red line does not run for purely economic reasons, and untill there is a nightclub area all around the red line stops in town that will go on. before you get to the stops you have to pass all the nitelinks and taxi ranks.
the national shutdown being quite hard to justify on multi-cultural and faith grounds??? you're jumping the shark baby. every country has their own versions, eg, islamic countries and isreal. dont see our ex-pats taking that attidude there. besides, how many actually observe christmas as a religious holiday?? Sod all.
I really dont understand your love and desire for the rat race, 24/7 commercialism and corporate erotica. I would say I am off for lunch, but you would scorn me as its for wimps.
