In Ireland, the clocks 'spring forward' by one hour at 1am on the last Sunday of March (30 March, 2025). The clocks will then 'fall back' on the last Sunday of October (26 October, 2025).

That is why atomic clocks form the backbone of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) — which is used to set global time zones — and GPS (global positioning system) satellites, which rely on atomic ...
