Fathers Day in Ireland is celebrated with great joy and enthusiasm.
Fathers Day celebration in Ireland takes place on the
third Sunday
of June, the same day when several countries and US celebrate
Father's Day. Taking full opportunity of the day, people honor their
father and express affection and gratitude for them. Like in many other
countries, people indulge their father by presenting them with loads of
gift and allowing them a day of rest. Grown-ups take their fathers out
for dinner or lunch or treat them with breakfast in bed. People whose
father are no more, pay tribute by giving donations in the name of their
father or by performing acts of service.
Several clubs and cultural organizations in Ireland organize Father's
Day programs to stress on the important role played by father in the
development of the child. An effort is also made to make fathers realize
that they must make all efforts to fulfill with devotion and sincerity
their responsibility as a father. Besides, children are also encouraged
to pay full attention and respect to their father.
