Improvements and changes to the aids to navigation around the Irish coast, has meant that there are a number of lighthouses that have been decommissioned. This list includes those where the tower or structure is still in existence. Some of these have been reused, such as Ferris Point which is now a vessel control tower. Clare Island was turned into a guest house, and the older Wicklow Head tower was refurbished by the Irish Landmark Trust as a holiday let.[1][2][3][4]
