Take Fri, Oct 22 offLocal calculation
The calculation uses Saturday and Sunday as the normal weekend. The national calendar includes Irish public holidays. Good Friday is widely observed but is not automatically a statutory public holiday for every worker.
Plan with the exact date
Ireland and the UK normally move clocks together, while differences with North America can briefly change around transition weeks.
Source and coverage
Calculated from stable statutory rules. Ireland's ten statutory public holidays; employee entitlement does not always mean the next weekday off.
Primary source: Workplace Relations Commission public-holiday guidance. Critical payroll, legal and travel dates should still be confirmed with the relevant local authority.
Frequently asked questions
How are Ireland long weekends calculated?
The tool combines national holidays with the standard Saturday and Sunday weekend and shows breaks needing no more than one leave day.
Are regional holidays included?
Only national dates are used for the automatic suggestions. Regional and municipal holidays can create additional local opportunities.
Does a suggested leave day guarantee time off?
No. Employment agreements, business schedules and local rules determine whether leave is available.
