    A June Bank Holiday takes the place of the Spring Bank Holiday.

    Trying to understand this one? First monday? Last Monday in June?


    Paddys Day
    Easter Monday
    1st Monday in may
    1st Monday in August


    Does New Years Day count? Xmas day also, right? Stephens day?

    The June Bank holiday is the first Monday in the month. And yes, Christmas Day, St. Stephen's Day And New Year's Day are also Bank holidays.

    From the horse's mouth:


    Public Holidays
    There are nine (9) public holidays in Ireland each year. Good Friday is not a public holiday. The list of public holidays in Ireland each year is as follows:

    New Year's Day (1 January)
    St. Patrick's Day (17 March)
    Easter Monday
    First Monday in May, June, August
    Last Monday in October
    Christmas Day (25 December)
    St. Stephen's Day (26 December)

    Most employees are entitled to have paid leave on public holidays. One exception is part-time employees who have not worked at least 40 hours in total in the five weeks before the public holiday.

    Employees who qualify will be entitled to either the public holiday off as paid leave or one of the following alternatives:

    A paid day off within a month of the public holiday
    An additional day of annual leave
    An additional day's pay
    The nearest church holiday to the public holiday as a paid day off
    The Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 provides that you may ask your employer at least 21 days before a public holiday, which of the alternatives will apply. If your employer fails to respond at least 14 days before the public holiday, you are entitled to take the actual public holiday as a paid day off

    Part-time employees who are entitled to public holiday leave, but who are not due to work on that particular day should receive 1/5 (20%) of their weekly pay instead of the actual day's leave.
