What makes the Ireland calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Ireland signature lives in the other dates: Lá Fhéile Bríde (Saint Brigid's Day, 2. Februar), found in no other country in the dataset; Lá Saoire i mí an Mheithimh (June Holiday, 1. Juni), found in no other country in the dataset; Lá Saoire i mí Lúnasa (August Holiday, 3. August), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Lá Saoire i mí Lúnasa (3. August) to Lá Saoire i mí Dheireadh Fómhair (26. Oktober): 84 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 10 nationwide holidays and Lá Fhéile Bríde will fall on a Montag (1. Februar).
