I might as well add the names of the days in Irish:
Monday = An Luan (day of the moon)
Tuesday = An Máirt (day of Mars?)
Wednesday = An Céardaoin (day of the small fast)
Thursday = An Déardaoin (day between two fasts)
Friday = An Aoine (day of the fast)
Saturday = An Satharn (day of Saturn?)
Sunday = An Domhnach (no idea; possibly Sabbath)

Yes, Tuesday is indeed the day of Mars and Saturday the day of Saturn in Irish.
Wednesday is Céadaoin, not Céardaoin, and it means the "the first fast day".
As far as I can tell, Domhnach (Sunday) means the Lord's Day (akin to the Latin Dominus = Lord).
