Ireland records 11 holidays in 2026. 10 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Lá Fhéile Stiofáin (26 Dec 2026) falls on a weekend in 2026, so it hands back no extra day off. Lá Caille (1 Jan 2026) and Lá Fhéile Pádraig (17 Mar 2026) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Dec, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 84 days, between 3 Aug 2026 and 26 Oct 2026. The next is Lá Nollag on 25 Dec 2026.
