This holiday is not a true "National" day. Older historical references
always referred to it as "Limerick Day". The word "National" appears to
have been added by a few websites around 2017 - 2018. We did not find any
U.S. congressional records or presidential proclamations making this a
true "National" day. We did not find any reference to this as a "National"
day from the government of Ireland either. Definition of "National" Days - and why it so important to distinguish and identify true national days.
