Qibla direction and Hijri date
Qibla from Drogheda
114° SE
Clockwise from true north, towards the Kaaba in Makkah.
Hijri date
3 Jumada I 1448 AH
Umm al-Qura calendar. Local moon sighting may differ by a day.
Praying in Drogheda
Drogheda sits far enough north that June nights almost disappear. Isha begins at 11:21 PM on 22 June, and Fajr starts at 2:53 AM on 19 June, so on the longest days the fasting day runs to 19h 10m on 20 June before it recedes again.
None of this happens on a fixed clock. Ireland moves its clocks forward on 28 March and back on 31 October, and the shift of an hour in each prayer on those dates matters more than any single day's drift. In deepest winter Fajr waits until 7:01 AM on 1 January.

Frequently asked questions
Do the clocks change in Drogheda, and what happens to Salah times?
Yes. The clocks go forward on 28 March and back on 31 October, and every time in the timetable moves by an hour on the clock that day. The sun has not changed; only the numbers on the wall have, so check your alarms.
Which way is the Qibla in Drogheda?
The Qibla is at 114 degrees clockwise from true north, pointing east-south-east. The great-circle route to Makkah crosses Europe and the Mediterranean, so the bearing looks more southerly than a flat map suggests.
When does Isha start earliest in Drogheda?
On 5 December, at 5:42 PM. That is more than two weeks before the winter solstice on 22 December. The evenings start drawing out before the shortest day, while the mornings keep getting later into January.
How long is the longest fasting day in Drogheda?
The longest stretch from Fajr to Maghrib is 19h 10m on 20 June, a day before the solstice. The shortest is 9h 11m on 19 December, so a summer fast can be roughly twice as long as a winter one.
