In Ireland, the Church chose to celebrate Saint Patrick on Saturday 15 March instead.{{cite web |url=https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/9917/irish-bishops-move-st-patricks-day-2008-over-conflict-with-holy-week |title=Irish bishops move St. Patrick's Day 2008 over conflict with Holy Week |date=July 19, 2007 |website=[[Catholic News Agency]] |access-date=April 1, 2018 |archive-date=April 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210406195343/https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/irish_bishops_move_st._patricks_day_2008_over_conflict_with_holy_week |url-status=live }} |
