Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a 30-day payment term deadline for an invoice issued on 15 May 2026 in Ireland?
Starting from 15 May 2026, you would count 30 business days excluding weekends and Irish public holidays. The First Monday in June (1 June 2026) falls within this period, so your payment deadline would be 23 June 2026. Always exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and the official Irish bank holidays when calculating payment terms.
What happens to project deadlines when they fall on an Irish public holiday?
If your project deadline falls on a public or bank holiday, it automatically extends to the next business day. For example, if work is due on Christmas Day (25 December 2026), the actual deadline becomes 28 December 2026 (the next working day after St. Stephen's Day). This is standard practice in Irish business, though you should always clarify deadline extension policies in your project agreement.
How many business days are there between 1 April and 30 June 2026 in Ireland?
Between these dates, you must exclude weekends and five public holidays: Good Friday (3 April), Easter Monday (6 April), May Day (4 May), and the First Monday in June (1 June). This gives you approximately 53 business days, though the exact count depends on your specific start and end times. Use a business days calculator to account for the precise weekend distribution.
Do EU procurement rules requiring 30 business days' notice apply differently in Ireland?
EU procurement regulations requiring 30 business days' notice apply fully in Ireland and must exclude Irish public holidays and bank holidays. When calculating the notice period, begin counting from the day after publication, and ensure your 30th business day does not fall on a weekend or Irish holiday. If it does, the deadline extends to the next working day.
What is the impact of the substitute bank holiday for St. Stephen's Day in 2026?
Since St. Stephen's Day (26 December 2026) falls on a Saturday, it is observed on Monday, 28 December 2026 as a substitute bank holiday. This means 28 December is a non-working day for business purposes, so any deadline or notice period falling on or around that date should account for this additional closure. Check your employment contract or company policy, as some organisations may also close for the Christmas period.
