St. Patrick's day and Battle of the Boyne day aren't holidays in the rest of the UK. (Battle of the Boyne day isn't a holiday in the sense of "something you look forward to".) The second one you have called "May Day Bank Holiday" is the August bank holiday. There's another bank holiday too, but I can't remember when it is. BR, Robert Thorpe
