In 2019, the EU voted on scrapping Daylight Saving Time permanently after 2021 after a decision was made based on an EU-wide survey, which resulted in the majority of people rather not having DST. Weren't there plans to scrap Daylight Saving Time permanently? You should also bear in mind the change of time if you are making plans for Sunday morning. The the majority of smartphones and other digital items will make the time switch automatically tonight, but traditional clocks and watches the time will have to be changed manually. Thanks to the advancements of modern technology, most Irish households no longer need to take much action when the clocks change. As it is naturally darker during the winter, the time goes back, giving people an extra hour's sleep in bed and in summer, the clock goes forward to allow for longer evenings. The change was made law to make the best of natural light as the earth travels around the sun. The countries that are further from the equator, like Ireland, get more hours of darkness from the clock changing. The clocks change so we can make the best use of natural light. Meanwhile, in Australia the clocks will go back on the first Sunday in April. In North America, Daylight Savings Times (DST) starts on the second Sunday in March while clocks go back on the first Sunday in November. Does this happen just in Ireland?Ĭlocks go back across all EU member states on the last Sunday in October and forward on the last Sunday in March.
