Public Holiday pay as part-time employee

    I've been working for my employer since July, sometimes upwards of 30 hours a week, but since the start of 2017, only about 26.

    I don't have any written agreement or anything like that, but I've obviously had significant regularity of work there that it's legally beyond "casual" employment.

    I would ordinarily be working Friday as I work every Friday, but Friday is St Patrick's Day.

    Am I legally entitled to a day's pay if I am not asked to work on Friday, or, alternatively, an extra day's pay if I am asked to work?

    This from Citizen's Information seems pretty clear that I am, since I will have worked more than 40 hours in the five weeks preceding Thursday.

    Am I reading this correctly, and are there any exceptions?

    Yes, you're reading this correctly. You're entitled to:
    A paid day off on the public holiday OR
