    Happy Easter my ass.

    How come a Christian holiday gets 2 days of college off, but no other denominational holiday does?

    Guess UCD still clings to its Catholic beginnings.

    It's not like I'm even arguing for more holidays or "equal representation" of the different denominations of students studying in UCD... Just cut out the religious BS fullstop.

    Our poll asked, "What does easter mean to you?"
    99% of respondents answered "Chocolate", and we remind you that there is a 1% margin of error.

    Well, by that logic Tet, Ramadan, Hanukah, Kwanzaa and a host of other religious holidays that are integral to the beliefs of a few students in UCD, should also get representation in the form of holidays. Which is ridiculous. So, I reiterate, cut out the religious BS.

    In fairness though, in such a large college with people of many different religions why are only Catholic holidays recognised? Is that not "pissing" on others' beliefs?

    I agree with Seb. The religious aspect should be removed. And if not, then all religious beliefs of those in the college should be recognised.

    I wouldn't tbh. And even if they are the "majority" it doesn't mean that the rest should be disregarded.

    I agree with peachy and seb, but the problem is you have holidays like paddys day which technically are religious holidays, but by now really actually don't have anything to do with religion, in fact paddys day has turned into more about being Irish than anything else

    This is actually spot on.
    In Yorkshire, a disgruntled Irish ex-pat complained to the local government Ombudsman after his local council decided to hoist St. Patrick's cross instead of the Irish tricolour. He claimed that it was an insult to the Republic, and that it is accepted etiquette that on a National Patron Saint's day, it is the flag of the nation rather than that of the saint that is flown.

    Although I'm actually that rarity - a practising Catholic - I'd have to agree with paechy and Seb. Catholicism/ Christianity does dominate the academic calender, but I think that a lot of that is down to the fact that a Catholic holiday is given official status from the government with two public holidays. My dad's a civil servant for example, and he's off today until next Wednesday cos it's Easter. Presumably if it wasn't a long weekend nationally, the college would have less justification to close down for four days, although they still might.

    As for the Catholics on campus, well, we don't get the other church days off, we just find time around lectures to go to Mass if that's what we want to do. It's not that hard to make the time off your own iniative to practise your religion if that's what you want to do, it's not necessary for everybody else to be in thrall to the Catholic calender. Just my perception of it.

    Lets be realistic. The reason Catholicism gets so much 'air time' is because its the religion of the vast, vast majority of Irish and therefore students.
    To recognise them all would be impractical madness.

    Its true that if we had all holidays off for all religions we wouldn't get any work done, but I think what people are saying is that the college shouldn't be brought to a complete halt, for a single religions holidays. There is actually work which I can only really do on campus, and I know its only four days, and I have other work that I can do, but I would prefer if I was able to do some of it over the long weekend.
