Father Ted February

I don't really know why but I am sloooooowly reading Ardal O'Hanlon's novel, so I guess this is as good a time as any to re-ask:

I just realized that Dermot Morgan and Frank Kelly both died on a February 28. Does Ardal O’Hanlon breathe a sigh of relief every year when he makes it through to the next day? 🤔
