Public Holidays in Ireland

Tourists visiting Ireland during public holidays would be well-advised to plan ahead when it comes to reserving lodgings. Bank Holidays always fall on a Monday, which gives everyone in Ireland a long three-day weekend. Having reservations for Friday, Saturday & Sunday over such a long weekend is a good idea, especially if you are planning to stay in a popular area. On Good Friday almost everything (including pubs & restaurants) is closed. For dinner on this day you should reserve ahead at a hotel.
