THE PETITION

Declare St.David's Day a public holiday. Raise Wales' profile as a nation. A national holiday on St David's Day would be an opportunity through events both national and communal to make Wales presence felt on a world stage. Recognition of our patron saint on March 1st will encourage ex-patriots around the globe to celebrate their origins. Emulate the Irish achievement with St.Patrick's Day. The National Assembly can be a medium for the expression and formation of our national aspirations, and take a major role in campaigning for St,David's Day as a public holiday.

DESIRED OUTCOME

That St. David's Day is declared an official national holiday.

WHO WE NEED TO INFLUENCE

The Assembly has no power to introduce an additional public holiday, instead it will have to lobby the Government through The Secretary of State for Wales, Paul Murphy.

HOW LONG WILL WE CAMPAIGN

This campaign will be ongoing until there is real change in legislation, or until the momentum of the petition ceases. Support us with your signature, we can make a difference.
