Will this kill the family Christmas holiday? It will certainly shorten it and end that feeling of looking forward to chilling out on the 26th. Will retail staff now have to work on the 25th or late on the 24th to prepare? I doubt if they will get special allowances etc. Why are they starting this in a recession when footfall is low anyway? Why do we have to copy the Brits? I am in no way religious, but, this is sad.
Watch, next year all the cathedrals of the new millenium such as The Pavillions, Liffey Valley and Dundrum SC as well as other towns and cities will follow.
