- Reply-to: sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org
The locale for Ireland (en_IE) doesn't use AM/PM for time. It should.
This problem was previously described by Paul Dunne here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/bug-glibc/2003-01/msg00083.html
Here's some programme output:

PM
The correct values for AM and PM are the same as for the UK. en_IE should mimic
en_UK for AM/PM.
