Exactly, Diesel. The beginning of the year is such an important time. Find another holiday
You'll be fined.
you might not be fined, at least if NI follows England

but I still wouldn't, not at the start of the year, for the reason you mention.
Yes, that as well!
jno...if Mr Platt is the man I watched interviewed on TV then he's very wealthy and could afford to fight the case.
The fixed penalty system used in England does not apply in Ulster.
Irrelevant of fines I agree that the start of the year is the worst time for a child to miss school. It's when routines and relationships with the class and teachers are formed and could put your daughter back socially and with her studies. I don't think missing a week or so of school any other time is a big deal at all but this I wouldn't do.
The fine/no fine is not as important as missing the first half term. She won't thank you for it.
You have answered your own question. You don't think it would be a good idea so why do it ?
