In case you hadn't noticed, the Euros are nearly here But should football fans get get time off work to watch the big games? Two of Northern Ireland's matches kick off at 5pm on weekdays. Will supporters be allowed to nip home early to see the matches? One of the Republic of Ireland's matches is also at 5pm on a weekday. And of course there will be massive interest in many other matches, some of which have 2pm kick offs. That includes the big England v Wales match But what about non football fans and their rights? Is it fair on them if colleagues are allowed time off?
