Out of season (Ireland)

Out of season (Ireland)

The term "out of season" was used to describe the living arrangements of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and which of his two official residences in Dublin he lived in. The term referred to the social season.

During the Irish social season, which ran from January until St. Patrick's Day (17 March), the Lord Lieutenant lived in state in the Viceregal Apartments in Dublin Castle, where he hosted levées, drawing rooms and balls.

Outside the social season the Lord Lieutenant lived in the less stately but more private Viceregal Lodge in the Phoenix Park.

The Lodge, under the name "Áras an Uachtaráin", now serves as the residence of the President of Ireland.
