  • "Eire" is in there, for instance, to deal with software that assumes that the "is_dst" half of the year is during the (northern) summer, but Ireland technically does it the other way around -- a distinction relevant only to computers.

    The only other timezone that currently has a non-1h offset for DST -- Ireland's is -1 hours -- is Australia/Lord_Howe, which has a 30-min positive leap.
