School holidays in the Republic of Ireland are determined by the Department of Education and Skills. Schools in Ireland are required to be open for a minimum on 167 days per year. The school year is standardised for public holidays and mid-term breaks, but schools have discretion to arrange teaching days outside these periods so the actual dates your school are open for may differ slightly. We suggest that you check with your school for the details of which days will be used as discretionary.
