Take work off to watch eclipse which won't be seen in Ireland for another 14 years

An astronomy group is recommending that people book Monday off work and keep the kids home from school in order to watch a lunar eclipse, the likes of which will not be seen in Ireland for another 14 years.

The so-called blood moon will last 62 minutes from 4.41am to 5.43am on Monday, when the moon will be high in the west as seen from across the country.
