ATTENTION: Don't forget clocks to jump forward as summer time officially begins

Don't forget clocks to jump forward

The clocks will go forward by an hour marking the official start of summer time in Ireland.

At 1am on Sunday March 30 the clocks will jump forward to 2am, and this may cause disruptions to public transport and other services.

Most computers, phones and tablets will automatically update, but those reliant on clocks and watches should remember to update theirs accordingly.

Irish public transport service, Citylink, said that there are several services that will be affected as a result of the clocks going forward.

"Changes have been made in the schedule to ensure that our services arrive at Dublin Airport to meet flights. All details, including updated schedules are available on our website," Citylink said.

"If you’re travelling with Irish Citylink during Saturday night/Sunday morning March 30th, 2025, please note all services departing Castlebar, Cork City, Galway City and Limerick after midnight will depart on the NEW Springtime to ensure you reach your destination at the correct time," Citylink added.
