About local holidays
Ireland observes ten public holidays. St Patrick's Day (March 17) is the national feast — parades in Dublin, monuments lit green worldwide. Since 2023 the first Monday of February is a public holiday named after St Brigid — the first Irish public holiday named for a woman. June Bank Holiday (1st Monday of June) and August Bank Holiday (1st Monday of August) create summer long weekends. Easter, Christmas and St Stephen's Day (Dec 26) close the calendar.
