Technical details
Ireland's ten public holidays a year from 2026 to 2028, worked out from the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 and the rules published by Citizens Information; the 2026 and 2027 dates match the Citizens Information table. When a public holiday falls on a weekend there is no automatic day off on the next working day, so no substitute days are listed.

Worked out by WhatDate Editorial from the cited rules (fixed dates; first or last Monday; St Brigid's Day rule; Easter from the US Census Bureau table). 2026 and 2027 checked against the Citizens Information table.
