The two time zones
New York — America/New_York
New York keeps Eastern Time (ET): UTC−5 in winter (EST) and UTC−4 in summer (EDT), the reference zone for US finance, media and the whole East Coast from Boston to Miami.
Dublin — Europe/Dublin
Dublin follows the same clock as London (UTC+0 in winter, UTC+1 in summer) — the European base for many US tech companies precisely because of its 5-hour gap with New York.
