Good to know about the time in Ireland
Ireland uses UTC in winter and UTC+1 in summer, and changes its clocks on the same dates as France: Dublin is on the same time as London all year round.
A legal oddity: under a 1971 act, Irish “standard time” is the summer time, and Greenwich Mean Time, used from late October to late March, is defined as a “winter time”. Until 1916, Dublin kept its own mean time, about twenty-five minutes behind Greenwich.
