		The Commissioners of Irish Lights are the General Lighthouse Authority for the whole of Ireland, its adjacent seas and islands.
		Lights and lighthouses are the most visible manifestations of the way they exercise their statutory responsibilities for the safety of all mariners.
		The Commissioners of Irish Lights have always been at the forefront of technological change and are actively involved in the provision of some of these systems including differential GPS, a means of monitoring GPS integrity as recommended by IALA.

	Northern Ireland Lighthouses
		The Commissioners of Irish Lights, based in Dublin, continue to operate lighthouses in Northern Ireland as well as in the Irish Republic.
		The lighthouse was abandoned in favor of the Mew Island Light to the north.
		The tower replaced a traditional light station and formerly carried a navigational light; the light became redundant when a directional light was installed in the Chaine Tower (next entry) on the other side of the harbor entrance.

	Ireland South and East Coast Lighthouses
		Until fairly recently this lighthouse was the front light of a range, the Duncannon North Light being the rear light.
		At some later time (little is known about the early history of the light), the tower was enclosed by a larger tower, 24 m (80 ft) tall, with a spiral stairway between the older and newer outer walls.
		Because the tower was useful as a daybeacon, it was preserved in 1866 by being capped with a brick dome.

	Seanad Éireann - Volume 155 - 10 June, 1998 - Merchant Shipping (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, 1997: Second Stage.
		The Commissioners of Irish Lights, an all-Ireland body, have statutory responsibility for the provision and maintenance of aids to navigation around the coast of Ireland and its adjacent seas and islands.
		Light dues collected from shipping traffic at Irish ports are, however, insufficient to meet the cost of the elaborate system of lights required by Ireland's geographic position.
		On this occasion the push undoubtedly came from the decent people in the Commissioners of Irish Lights who found, for the third year in a row, that they did not have the authority to do what was required of them and a change in legislation was necessary.

		On the 11th March 1861 at midday the light room of the East tower was struck by the sea smashing 23 panes, washing some of the lamps down the stairs, and damaging the reflectors with broken glass beyond repair.
		In the meantime, the fixed light apparatus that had been taken out of Tory Island should be installed at the West station with a six wick burner and the East tower worked by Keepers at the West dwellings.
		The light was converted to electric on 17th July 1968 with the same character—group flash 3 white every 10 seconds; the candlepower was increased to 1,400,000 and can be seen for twenty six miles.

		The Irish parliament secured legislative independence in 1782 and a year later it was decided to establish a new order of chivalry to be called the Order of St Patrick in recognition of the country's enhanced constitutional status.
		Among these are the flags of the Commissioners of Irish Lights, the Royal Dublin Society and the Irish Rugby Football Union, as well as the former flags of the 'Blueshirts' and of Irish Shipping Ltd.

		About Us Mizen Head Fog Signal Station was sanctioned in 1906 by the Irish Lights Board to combat the high loss of life and shipping on the rocks.
		Until 1993 the Station was manned by three Keepers; in April 1993 the Station was automated and Mizen Tourism Co-operative Society Ltd., a community rural development initiative, was formed to create a visitor attraction, 'Mizen Vision', in the former Keepers' Quarters and to take over the path to the Point.
		The Commissioners of Irish Lights enabled this development through their generosity in allowing the Co-operative to take a lease on Mizen Head Signal Station.
