Ireland Public Holidays 2026

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
Ireland observes 10 nationwide public holidays in 2026. Helpfully for 2026, every one of them falls on a weekday, so each delivers a genuine day off work. There are 2 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with New Year's Day on Thursday 1 January and closes with St Stephen's Day (substitute) on Monday 28 December.
