Calls to end daylight saving as clock goes back

This weekend marks 100 years of daylight saving time in Ireland, but, as the clocks go back at 2am tomorrow, not everyone is happy about the extra hour in bed.

Two Irish MEPs have called for an end to the bi-annual changing of the clock, and, according to a new survey, 63% of the public are not in favour of the concept either.

Ireland South MEPs, Deirdre Clune and Sean Kelly, have both joined a growing number in the European Parliament who think the concept should be scrapped.
