Working days in Ireland, 2025
Ireland has 250 working days in 2025: the year's 261 weekdays, minus the 11 nationwide public holidays that land on one. The month-by-month table below is computed from the same holiday data the calendar maker prints.

- The fullest month is July with 23 working days; the lightest is February with 19.
- Counts use nationwide holidays only — regional ones (a state day in the US, a cantonal day in Switzerland) reduce the total further where they apply.
- Weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Half-day customs — a Christmas Eve afternoon, a Bayram eve — are not subtracted.
Which holidays are subtracted
The 11 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Ireland public holidays 2025 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Ireland's holiday system works:
- Ireland has ten public holidays, the newest being St Brigid's Day — the first Monday of February, or 1 February itself when that falls on a Friday. It was added in 2023, so older printed calendars miss it.
- Good Friday is not a public holiday, despite being widely treated as one; banks close, but there is no statutory entitlement. Easter Monday is the actual holiday.
- When a public holiday falls at a weekend, employees are entitled to a paid alternative — commonly the following Monday, which is the observed date shown here.
