About the time in Kildare
The zone identifier Europe/Dublin is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Dublin keeps pointing at Dublin time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:18 and sunset at 08:43 local time, giving 14h 26m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (53.16, -6.91) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kildare.
Kildare sits at latitude 53.16, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 26m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
