Long weekends and bridge days in Ireland

A long weekend is three or more days off in a row made by a nationwide holiday and the weekend. A bridge day is a working day with a day off on both sides: one leave day there joins a holiday to the weekend, or two holidays to each other.

Regional holidays are left out of both lists: they depend on where the employee works.
