Ireland public holidays 2027

JSON · Add to calendar

1. Fri, 01 Jan 2027New Year's Day

   Ireland’s supplied 2027 calendar lists New Year’s Day on 1 January as a public holiday. In the Gregorian calendar, 1 January is the first day of the year, and the accompanying background describes the date as widely observed internationally. That general context does not establish particular Irish customs or the precise legal scope of the holiday. This entry records the listed date and classification without assuming that everyone observes the day in the same way.

2. Mon, 01 Feb 2027Saint Brigid's Day

   The supplied calendar lists Saint Brigid’s Day on Monday, 1 February 2027, as a public holiday in Ireland. No explanatory source excerpt accompanies this entry, so the supplied evidence does not establish why the day is recognized, the legal rule governing its date, or the scope of coverage. The listing is consistent with Ireland’s St Brigid public holiday, but those details should be checked against an official Irish source.

3. Wed, 17 Mar 2027Saint Patrick's Day

   Saint Patrick’s Day falls on 17 March, the traditional date of Saint Patrick’s death, and the supplied calendar lists it as a public holiday in Ireland in 2027. The accompanying context describes the day as both religious and cultural, connected with Saint Patrick and Irish heritage. It notes that observances can include public events and church services, while also emphasizing that celebrations vary. The holiday is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland.

4. Mon, 29 Mar 2027Easter Monday

   Ireland’s supplied calendar lists Easter Monday on 29 March 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying context places the day within Eastertide and describes it as the second day of the Easter Octave in Western Christianity. This provides religious context for the name, but does not establish that everyone observes the day or detail its legal arrangements in Ireland. The entry therefore reflects the calendar’s date and classification without adding unsupported local customs.

5. Mon, 03 May 2027May Day

   The supplied Ireland calendar lists May Day as a public holiday on 3 May 2027. The accompanying background describes a wider European seasonal festival traditionally associated with 1 May, including related Gaelic Beltane traditions, and distinguishes that festival from International Workers’ Day. It does not establish that the Irish public holiday date is itself observed as the ancient festival. The calendar date and the festival’s traditional date should therefore be understood as separate pieces of information.

6. Fri, 04 Jun 2027June Holiday

   The supplied calendar lists Ireland’s June Holiday on Friday, 4 June 2027, as a public holiday. However, the accompanying Ireland-specific context says the holiday is observed on the first Monday in June; in 2027, that Monday is 7 June. The holiday’s recognition is supported, but its date in the supplied calendar conflicts with the stated rule. The listed date should not be treated as settled without checking an authoritative Irish source.

7. Mon, 02 Aug 2027August Holiday

   Ireland’s supplied calendar lists the August Holiday on 2 August 2027. This date is the first Monday of August, matching the rule described in the accompanying Ireland-specific context. That source also reports that the holiday was first observed in 1871 under the Bank Holidays Act 1871. The entry identifies the date and holiday name; the background does not establish how widely individuals or businesses observe it.

8. Mon, 25 Oct 2027October Holiday

   The supplied calendar lists Ireland’s October Holiday on 25 October 2027. That date is the last Monday of October, consistent with the accompanying context, which describes the Irish holiday as falling on the last Monday of the month. The context also notes that the holiday was introduced in 1977. It says the date usually, but not always, follows the change from Irish Standard Time to Irish Winter Time; that timing should not be assumed for every year.

9. Sat, 25 Dec 2027Christmas Day

   Ireland’s supplied calendar lists Christmas Day on 25 December 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying context describes Christmas in Ireland as a Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus that also incorporates customs from different periods. It notes that the broader Irish festive season has historically extended beyond Christmas Day. These details offer cultural context but do not imply that everyone observes the holiday in the same way.

10. Sun, 26 Dec 2027St. Stephen's Day

    St. Stephen’s Day falls on 26 December, the day after Christmas. The accompanying context identifies it as a Western Christian feast commemorating Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and as a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. It also notes that the day is known as Wren Day in parts of Ireland. That regional name should not be treated as universal; the supplied calendar lists St. Stephen’s Day for Ireland in 2027.
