Nobody told me about this. I didn't hear it on the news...first I heard of it was when the bar man showed me it last night. Should the changing of a note not be a highly publicised thing? It should be all over the news, internet, on billboards, leaflets delivered...how did this go under the radar or is that just the way it…

Um, only 16,000 news articles worldwide listed on google about this.
It was definitely covered locally:
http://www.rte.ie/news/business/2013/0430/388965-new-five-euro-note/
http://www.centralbank.ie/press-area/press-releases/Pages/Newnotestoenterintocirculationfrom2May.aspx

http://www.irishtimes.com/business/sectors/financial-services/new-series-of-5-notes-due-here-in-may-1.549403

And so on, and so on.
