    :-)

    Pretty much that.

    It's likely that BE will run some extra services to get people to/from the parade - regular routes, but more buses than usual. I don't know if they do this on all routes, or just the popular ones (definitely on 409).

    The parade is on Saturday though, isn't it?

    Saturday is the bank holiday and I understand not in Galway but DB run normal week service on Monday.

    Yes as that's Paddy's Day, many places open as normal the Monday so a Sunday service will be a nuisance.

    Monday is listed as a Bank holiday in lieu of Saint Patrick's day falling on a Saturday. It's not a regular Monday.

    This too shall pass.

    You're quite right, serves me right for replying quickly before researching :(



    Monday is a bank holiday, but not a public holiday.

    Bus Éireann say they will be operating a regular Monday timetable, ref: http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1520957703-St-Patricks--Easter-Weekend-Timetables.pdf
