Ireland is traditionally divided into four provinces: Leinster in the east, Munster in the southwest, Connacht in the west, and Ulster in the north. These regions have no administrative function, but they remain convenient divisions of the island. This page covers lighthouses of Leinster, including the counties of Wexford, Wicklow, Dun Laoghaire–Rathdown, Dublin City, Fingal, Meath, and Louth. Shipping is heavy along this coast, which faces England and Wales across St. George's Channel and the Irish Sea. The coast is guarded by a series of historic and well-known lighthouses maintained by the Commissioners of Irish Lights. Much less well known are a number of harbor lighthouses, including several rare screwpile lighthouses. ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. Light List numbers are from Volume A of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA numbers are from Publication 114.
