Poll: Should Ireland mark the anniversary of the day it became a Republic?
TODAY MARKS 70 years since Ireland officially became a republic.
At midnight on 18 April 1949, Ireland officially left the British Commonwealth and became a Republic.
But while a number of countries around the world celebrate the anniversaries on which they gained independence or became a republic, Ireland doesn’t do either.
Leo Varadkar has previously raised the possibility of having a Republic Day, while it’s also been suggested that the day would not even need to be a public holiday.
So today we’re asking: Should Ireland mark the anniversary of the day when it became a Republic?
Poll Results:
Yes (13328)
Yes, but not as a public holiday (2221)
No (1782)
I don't know/No opinion (341)
