How many days can you spend in Ireland?
It depends on what you’re counting. For tax, 183 days or more in Ireland in a tax year — or 280 over that year and the one before — make you resident; the tax year is the calendar year, and any part of a day counts. On an Irish Residence Permit, Stamp 4 included, time outside Ireland shouldn’t exceed 90 days in a rolling year.

Ireland: questions and answers.
How many days can I stay in Ireland without paying tax?
Days decide whether you’re resident, not whether you pay: 183 days or more in the tax year, or 280 over that year and the one before, make you resident in Ireland for tax.
Do days in Ireland count towards the Schengen 90 days?
No. Ireland is in the EU but not in the Schengen area, so days there don’t count towards 90 in any 180.
How long can I be outside Ireland on an Irish Residence Permit?
90 days in a rolling year for IRP card holders, holidays, personal and work trips together. Stamp 5 holders are allowed up to 4 months a year.
