An odd request

[gerrykeegan]

I have googled it endlessly and have no joy, does anyone know how I would find out if the 3rd of November  1997 was a bank holiday in the Republic?

Not relevant, but found this when looking for you Gerry.

Thought it was interesting.

Looks like the 27th October 1997 was the bank Holiday - can't see there being two in a row.

Ta I knew that but thought it may have been different in 97 as per the initial post hence the posted link.

Now I am rightly fucked. Ok new request. Was anyone in Zanzibar pub Dublin (real not Cyber Space Pub) friday the 24th Of October or Friday the 31st of October 1997.In the haze I figure there was a bank holiday involved.  I need to know was I there cause the girl i shifted that night is my girlfriend and it will be 10 years soon and she is damn sure going to know. I have been told that I resemble Daniel Craig. (by my mam)

I don't think Zanzibar had opened in 97, I think it didn't open until about a year later??

Not sure Gerry, Pravda was open then, but I get the feeling Zanzibar wasn't open then - I'm probably wrong, but.......

it very close alright, i was working on the hotpress hall of fame at the time and it was for the same owner as zanzibar. It opened while we were on the hotpress job
