Is Monday 2nd January 2023 a bank holiday in Ireland?

I

n the UK, we usually get about eight bank holidays a year to celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter.

However, this year, the British public received an extra two bank holidays: one for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June and another for her funeral in September.

We’ll also get an extra bank holiday next year for King Charles III’s coronation, taking next year’s total to 11.

The bank holidays can fall on different days or dates every year, particularly when a holiday like Christmas falls on a weekend, for example.

Therefore, it's important to know when you can expect a day off work so you can plan ahead and book your 2023 holidays.

If planned correctly, workers can take advantage of bank holidays to get long holidays while only booking a few days’ annual leave.

From Easter dates to the summer bank holiday and new year, these are the important dates you need to put in your diary for next year.

Which bank holidays are changing next year?

New Year’s Day 2023 falls on a Sunday, therefore the New Year’s Day bank holiday will be on Monday, January 2 in 2023.

Good Friday fell late in 2022, on April 15, but in 2023 it will return to the first week of April, on April 7.

The UK will also get an extra bank holiday for King Charles III’s coronation on May 8.
