Clocks Are Set To Go Back An Hour

At 2am tomorrow your clock will fall back to 1am

Clocks go back an hour on the last Sunday in October, which means at 2am tomorrow, your clock falls back to 1am.


But a cross-party group of MEPs led by Fine Gael's Seán Kelly has written to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, demanding an end to the practice.


A public consultation in 2018 received more than 4.5 million responses from all member states, with 84 per cent saying they wanted the changing of the clocks to stop.


A resolution on the proposal was approved the following year - but since then, progress on the petition has stalled.


MEP Kelly says the ritual is out-dated, poses health risks, affects sleep patterns, and can lead to a spike in traffic accidents.
