About this calendar
In 2026, Ireland observes 11 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with St. Stephen's Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Irish workplaces follow a Monday-to-Friday week, typically 39 paid hours. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, employees do not lose it. The Organisation of Working Time Act lets the employer choose between a paid day off within a month, an extra day of annual leave, or the next working day off.
