No — only nationwide public and bank holidays defined by Irish Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 are subtracted. Regional, observance, and optional holidays vary by state or canton and aren't included so the headline figure stays consistent for nationwide payroll, billing, and capacity-planning use.
