Holidays not included
This is the national set under the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Bank-only days such as the December 27 in-lieu day for a Sunday-falling St Stephen's Day are listed in the data above as observed weekdays. Northern Ireland's separate holidays (Battle of the Boyne, July 12) are not part of the Republic of Ireland calendar this calculator covers; the UK calculator in this site handles those for England-and-Wales but excludes Northern Ireland too. The Irish Stock Exchange (Euronext Dublin) follows the same observance schedule as the Central Bank of Ireland.
