How do you plan social posts around holidays in Ireland?

Pick the dates your audience in Ireland keeps, have the posts ready a week ahead, and post earlier in the week before a public holiday, when people are still online. In SkedCast, import a month of holiday posts at once and see them on the content calendar beside your other networks. The social media holiday calendar covers every country this calendar tracks, the 2027 calendar lists the whole year with the international social media days, and the monthly social media planner turns any date into a scheduled post.

Ireland social media calendar FAQ

How many public holidays does Ireland have?
10 in 2026 and 10 in 2027, with 15 and 15 dates in all once bank holidays and observances are counted.
Where does this holiday data come from?
From date-holidays, an open-source holiday-rules library (CC-BY-3.0), the same library SkedCast’s own in-app content calendar uses, not a hand-typed list.
Are moon-sighting holidays (like Eid) confirmed exact dates?
No. Holidays set by moon sighting can land a day early or late, so treat those dates as expected, not confirmed, the same way a phone calendar does.
What is the difference between a public holiday and an observance?
A public holiday is usually a day off by law; an observance is a recognised day, such as Valentine’s Day, that is not a day off. Both are useful for posts, but only one changes when your audience is online.
