What are the Bank Holiday Days in 2026 for Ireland?

Here is the full list of Bank Holiday Days in Ireland in 2026:

Good Friday falls on Friday, April 3, but it is not a public holiday. As such, people have no automatic entitlement to have a day off work.

However, some schools and businesses do close on that day.

Seeing as St Stephen’s Day falls on a Saturday, workers will be entitled to a substitute benefit.

Citizens Information says: “If the public holiday falls on a day which is not a normal working day for that business (for example, on Saturday or Sunday), you are still entitled to benefit for that public holiday. However, you do not have any automatic legal entitlement to have the next working day off work.”
