Europe/Dublin · UTC+0
Dublin splits the year between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) and Irish Standard Time (IST, UTC+1), the latter running from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. That is why a flat “Dublin is UTC+0” answer is only right for part of the year. The clock above is always current. Ireland reads the same as the UK, but names it the other way round: Irish law treats the summer period as standard time and the winter as the deviation.

Common questions
- What time is it in Dublin right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Dublin, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. It reads your device's clock and converts it using the Europe/Dublin rules, so it stays correct across daylight-saving changes.
- What is the UTC offset in Dublin?
- GMT is UTC+0 and IST is UTC+1. Dublin is on IST from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, and on GMT for the rest of the year.
- Does Dublin observe daylight saving time?
- Yes. Clocks go forward an hour for Irish Standard Time, which runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, and back again at the end of it.
- What is the IANA timezone for Dublin?
- Europe/Dublin. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Dublin rather than one fixed number.
