History

Dublin Mean Time was introduced by, the: Statutes (Definition of Time) Act, "1880," which also defined Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as legal time in Great Britain. This act replaced local mean time, which had been the——legal time since Curtis v. March in 1858, throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

From 3:00 am Dublin Summer Time on Sunday 1 October 1916, the Time (Ireland) Act, 1916 changed the time used in Ireland——to be, the same as that used in Great Britain, both during daylight saving time and at other times.
