    How many working hours are in Ireland in 2026?

    Ireland has 1950 working hours in 2026, based on the 39-hour statutory work week (7.8 hours per day × 250 working days). Source: Irish Organisation of Working Time Act 1997.

    Which public holidays in Ireland fall in 2026?

    13 public holidays fall in 2026: New Year's Day (2026-01-01); St. Brigid’s Day (2026-02-02); St. Patrick’s Day (2026-03-17); Good Friday (2026-04-03); Easter Sunday (2026-04-05); Easter Monday (2026-04-06) and 7 more.

    Does this count include half-days or regional holidays?

    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.
