What the numbers say

In 2026, Isle of Man has 10 nationwide public holidays and Ireland has 10 — exactly the same number. They line up on 4 dates, including New Year's Day, Easter Monday, Early May Bank Holiday and Christmas Day.

What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Isle of Man has 10 on working days (0 fall on a weekend), against 9 for Ireland (1 on a weekend).

For short breaks, Isle of Man offers 9 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 1 possible bridge day (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Ireland offers 7 and 2. Ireland has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Isle of Man and December in Ireland.
