When is New Year celebrated in Ireland in 2027?

Are regional holidays included for Ireland?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Ireland are listed separately on the Ireland holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Ireland holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. 5 of the 10 holidays in 2027 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter and set weekday of the month), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Easter Monday on March 29, 2027, May Day on May 3, 2027 and First Monday in June on June 7, 2027, plus 2 more.
How far ahead is the Ireland calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. This table also applies 1 correction to the underlying open dataset, each checked against the legislation. The full list with sources is on the Ireland holiday hub.
Which Ireland holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2027. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Ireland holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
