Editing List of lighthouses in Ireland (section)

==Inactive==
{{GeoGroup|section=Inactive}}
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 optic is on permanent rotating display at the [[World of Glass (St Helens)|World of Glass]] museum and visitor centre in North West England. The older Wicklow Head tower was refurbished by the [[Irish Landmark Trust]] as a holiday let.<ref name=north/><ref name=east/><ref name=southwest/><ref name=west/>
