This is a list of lighthouses in Ireland, that have been selected because they are still in use, are historically
interesting or are of interest to photographers. This list will grow over time as
others are identified. One definition of a lighthouse, that we are not sticking
totally to, is that a lighthouse is a building that a person can get into now or
historically, that contains a light for shipping. We don't intend to add every
single light.
We have a
Lighthouse Map of Ireland
 showing all the
lighthouses on this page with hyperlinks to location guides for the
lighthouse. Lighthouses with a yellow
background below, are shown with a red square,
the remaining with yellow squares.
Where the name in the first column is hyperlinked
this links to one of our Location pages with more information and over time more of these will be added.
We would be delighted if some of
you would like to also produce location pages. Those in the list with a
yellow
band, are those that are open to visitors. Items with a
symbol are still being worked on to add detailed histories, and extend
information.
Star rating is just a quick guide to which are
perhaps the most interesting.
This list is in two halves, the first table
lists all the lights
run by the Commissioners of Irish Lights, and then a separate list of all
others, both lists are in alphabetical order.
