About Balbriggan Time Zone

Balbriggan, Ireland uses Europe/Dublin as its IANA time zone, and its standard-time offset is UTC+0. During daylight saving time, the offset becomes UTC+1, so the city follows a seasonal shift that changes how it lines up with North America, the UK, and Asia.

Balbriggan observes daylight saving time. In January the offset is UTC+0, and in July it is UTC+1; in 2026, clocks go forward on Sunday, March 29, 2026 and go back on Sunday, October 25, 2026. That matters for scheduling because Balbriggan stays aligned with London in both seasons, but its gap with cities like New York, Tokyo, Sydney, and Dubai changes depending on the month.
