ATC hours

I know you guys work night and day, weekends and bank holidays, so I was wondering do you still work 40 hours per week? Maybe less?

Is there a legal maximum you are allowed to work per week/month?
Is there a maximum length of any particular shift?
In general, is there a tendance to get days off scheduled together, or is that just if you are lucky?
Do ye get the same amount of annual leave as other professionals, or do ye get more?
Would you still get at least one guaranteed weekend off per month?

I'm just curious to the lifestyle of a Air Traffic Controller as it may be a career I am considering...

Thanks in advance,
CR.
