Time facts about Dublin

Dublin Mean Time, set by Dunsink Observatory, ran 25 minutes 21 seconds behind Greenwich and was Ireland's legal time until the Time (Ireland) Act 1916 moved Ireland to GMT on 1 October 1916.Source: dublincity.ie
Under Irish law, 'standard time' is UTC+1 (Irish Standard Time), and winter GMT is legally a 'period of winter time' under the Standard Time (Amendment) Act 1971 — the reverse of the UK framing.Source: irishstatutebook.ie
Because of that legal framing, the IANA tz database models Europe/Dublin with a negative daylight-saving offset in winter, although Dublin’s clocks today match London’s.Source: IANA tz database
