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 février), found in no other country in the dataset; Lá Saoire i mí an Mheithimh (June Holiday, 1 juin), found in no other country in the dataset; Lá Saoire i mí Lúnasa (August Holiday, 3 août), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Lá Saoire i mí Lúnasa (3 août) to Lá Saoire i mí Dheireadh Fómhair (26 octobre): 84 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 10 nationwide holidays and Lá Fhéile Bríde will fall on a lundi (1 février).
