Public holidays included for 2026
The table on this page contains 10 public-holiday dates from the current 2026 national dataset. Each row pairs the holiday name with its calendar date and weekday, which is useful when planning leave, appointments, transport and opening hours.
Statutory holidays and other closures
The holiday dataset covers the statutory public holidays used in the national calendar. Good Friday is widely observed by some organisations but is not a statutory public holiday, and individual opening hours can differ.
The list should be read as a national reference, not as a promise that every employer, school, bank or service follows an identical timetable.
Compare dates across the year
Compare the list with the full Ireland calendar 2026 to see the spacing between holidays and the surrounding weekends. This is especially useful for planning several months ahead.
Confirm important arrangements
Holiday announcements and observed arrangements can change. Before booking travel or relying on a closure, check the latest information from the competent authority or organisation. If this page differs from an authoritative source, report the exact date and link through the contact page.
