That’ll be the day! Has International Women’s Day become a bit dated?

We all nod our heads reverently for Women’s Day, but maybe it’s time to ask just how important the day now is, writes Terry Prone.

International Women’s Day shares next Wednesday with World Maths Day, Be Nasty Day, Peanut Cluster Day, Proofreaders’ Day, and falls within Return Borrowed Books Week.

Last week, Tooth Fairy Day fell right in the middle of Seachtain na Gaeilge. If it had landed any later, it would have had to contend with National Soup it Forward Day, World Hearing Day, National Cold Cuts Day, and National Dress in Blue Day. 

Not forgetting National Employee Appreciation Day and Global Unplugging Day. Without ignoring Mulled Wine Day, International Irish Whiskey Day, National Anthem Day, and National I Want You To Be Happy Day. All happened just before the weekend. Then, on Saturday, came Obesity Day.
