In Ireland, the October Holiday (sometimes called the October Bank Holiday, Irish: Lá Saoire i Mí Dheireadh Fómhair or Lá Saoire Oíche Shamhna) is observed on the last Monday of October. Usually, but not always, this is the day after the end of Western European Summer Time. It was introduced in 1977.
