Irish Public Holidays 2026: what actually changes your deadline

Calculate Irish working days, calendar days, and supported court deadlines using the rule set that matches your matter.
Use default mode for ordinary Irish working-day calculations with public holidays and optional shutdown overlays. Switch to Court Rules Mode when you need the supported Irish court counting rules for Superior Courts, Circuit Court, or District Court.
The calculator gives you the counting rules; you supply the legally correct trigger date.
Disclaimer: Use at your own risk and verify deadlines against the governing statute, contract, or court rules.
Use it to count forward to a deadline, count backward from a hearing or event, compare working days against calendar days, or build multi-stage timelines in Sequential Mode.
Court mode keeps the fixed court baseline in place and only exposes extra controls, such as Exclude August or Clear Days, where the underlying rule actually justifies them.
Count forward to a deadline, count backward from an event, or measure the days between two dates using working days or calendar days.
Chain up to six periods so each result becomes the next start date, which is useful for Irish finance, due diligence, and settlement timelines.
Apply the supported Irish court counting rules for the selected court level, including court-specific short-period treatment where source-backed, Clear Days where required, and rollover to the next open day.
Set start and end boundaries so the result matches the wording in your contract, statute, or court rule.
All 10 Irish public holidays included, with St. Brigid's Day's first-Monday rule applied automatically. No regional settings needed.
Irish public holidays and the St. Brigid's Day rule are built in, with Good Friday handled through the selected business or court context where relevant.
Add CIF construction shutdowns or the LSI conveyancing shutdown when the applicable contract or professional definition excludes those dates.
Visualize the result through a colour-coded timeline showing working days, weekends, and holidays.
Review excluded dates, selected assumptions, and rule-based adjustments, then export the result and calculation settings.
Practical Irish guidance on public holiday timing, court and conveyancing deadlines, and working-day planning decisions.

Two common surprises: a public holiday doesn't automatically 'move' if it lands on a weekend, and Good Friday still isn't a statutory public holiday.

The deadline you think you have and the deadline Order 122 gives you are sometimes different -- especially for short periods and late-day service.

The headline quirk: key steps can be due in 5 working days, and 'working day' itself quietly removes the week after Christmas.
