Four bank holiday dates remain for Northern Ireland for the rest of the year - with the next one just days away.
The Twelfth, which falls on a Tuesday this year, is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland. But the Monday, July 11, another big day of celebrations for many, is not.
NI Direct says: "Bank holidays are holidays when banks and many other businesses are closed for the day. Public Holidays are holidays which have been observed through custom and practice, such as Christmas Day.

"You don't have a statutory right to paid leave on bank and public holidays, though many people receive the day off work. Any right to time off or extra pay for working on a bank holiday depends on the terms of your contract of employment."
Here are the last four remaining bank holidays upcoming in Northern Ireland:
| 12 July | Tuesday | Battle of the Boyne (Orangemen’s Day) |
| 29 August | Monday | Summer bank holiday |
| 26 December | Monday | Boxing Day |
| 27 December | Tuesday | Christmas Day (substitute day) |
When the usual date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the 'substitute day' is normally the following Monday, confirms NI Direct.
For example in 2022, Christmas Day is on Sunday December 25, so the substitute day is Tuesday December 27.
