IRISH LIGHTS
SHIPS AND CREW

The Commissioners of Irish Lights are the General Lighthouse Authority for the whole of Ireland,
its adjacent seas and islands

The Commissioners are responsible for—

        the provision and maintenance of lighthouses, buoys, beacons, and radio aids to marine navigation to assist the
safe and expeditious passage of all classes of mariners in general navigation;

• Sanctioning the establishment, alteration, or discontinuation of local aids to marine navigation in ports, harbours, and on
   coastlines which are within the jurisdiction of a local lighthouse authority, in accordance with international standards;
  this includes sanctioning the marking and lighting of fish farms, oil and gas rigs, and other hazards;
• The inspection of local aids to navigation to ensure they comply with international standards and the statutory sanction
  granted;
• Marking or removing wreck which is a danger to navigation, where no harbour or conservancy authority has the power
  to do so.
