SPRING IS HERE … or is it? Depends who you talk to really.
But according to this factsheet for primary school students from Met Éireann, the season kicks-off on the 1st of March, and continues until the end of May.
Then again – it depends how you define spring. An astronomer would say it begins at the Vernal Equinox, on March 20th.
While we’re at it – what about poor old St Brigid? Did she die in vain?
There’s only one way to settle this. POLL.
