How much holidays do lecturers get each year?

It seems a closely guarded secret or do all universities in Ireland have different holidays; I ask because I have received many answers does anyone know?

Holidays would be according to their contract. They would be entitled to the legal minimum of four weeks per year at least.

Ok do it's not an even platform like secondary school teachers? So is it incorrect to assume they get the same holidays as third level students?

They do not get the same holidays as third level students.

So lecturers who are permanent do they get the same holidays as each other?

Is there a difference between institutions?

Curse of my life answering this question....
We get the statutory minimum (20 days), and five closure days at christmas. Term time is teaching, supervision, class prep and various admin - department committees, grading, etc. Most research gets done in the summer, as does writing and conferencing.

Yes

Lecturers do lots and lots of other work than lecturing including admin, research, academic planning
