                          About Public Holidays in Ireland

                          Ireland's Saint Patrick's Day (March 17) is the country's national holiday, marked with parades across the country (and famously abroad), and was only joined by a second, entirely new public holiday - Imbolc/St Brigid's Day, the first Monday in February - starting in 2023, making it one of the most recently added holidays on any calendar covered here.
