The next bank holiday in Ireland is Monday, June 6, which means that all banks and post offices will be closed on that date. Most employees are entitled to one day's pay for public holidays on Monday, June 6.
During this upcoming bank holiday in June, many social welfare recipients will receive their payments in advance to avoid disruption to banks and post offices that are closed for public holidays.
All welfare or pension payments due into bank accounts or credit unions on Monday, June 6 will be reimbursed no later than Friday, June 3.
If you need to receive your pension payment at a post office on a bank holiday Monday, you can collect it early on Saturday, June 4th instead.
