Ramadan 2027 in Ireland
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Ireland decides
Ireland follows a pre-calculated lunar calendar, so the start date is set by astronomical calculation rather than a moon sighting.
Ireland's main Sunni body, the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland, follows the European Council for Fatwa and Research's calculated calendar, which set 1 March 2025 for Ramadan 1446 and 19 February 2026 (one day after Saudi Arabia) for Ramadan 1447.
