What to know about Ireland's 2027 holidays
The working week here is Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday off.
Ireland has ten public holidays, "increased from 9 in 2022" when St Brigid’s Day was added, Citizens Information says. Good Friday is not one of them.
When a holiday falls on a weekend, "you do not have any automatic legal entitlement to have the next working day off work." In 2027 that is Christmas Day and St Stephen’s Day: you still get a public holiday benefit from your employer, but not necessarily a day off.
