 Loop Head lighthouse is in Co. Clare for over
349 years
 Hook Head has been in Wexford for over 800
years ago, William Marshall built it
 Valentia is in Co. Kerry and was built in the
1700’s and you can see dinosaur footprints
from there
 Wicklow Head built in Wicklow in 1781 and it
was struck by lightning
The commissioner of Irish light serves as the
general lighthouse authority but they don’t pay
for the lighthouses. The people who pay for the
lighthouses are the ship owners. The ship
owners pay for the lighthouses because they
need the lighthouses so they don’t crash. The
counties that these lighthouses are in are
Antrim, Down, Louth, Dublin, Wicklow,
Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Clare,
Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Donegal.
Ballycotton was built in the late 1840’s across
the bay in east Cork. The lighthouse is black
which is one of the only two in Ireland. The
lighthouse was first lit in 1851. It turned to an
electric lighthouse on January 15th, 1975. It is
one of the only 70 lighthouses operated by the
Commissioners of Irish Light.
 Milk has some casein which is in certain plastic.
 Modern plastic is man-made product which
does not occur naturally. Sadly a lot of this
plastic ends up in the sea causing some animals
to die.
 When vinegar is added into warm milk, a
chemical reaction occurs and after this reaction
has stopped the vinegar and warm milk
harden. This hardened vinegar and milk are
fairly similar chemically to plastic.
 There are over 70 lighthouses operating in
Ireland. Most lighthouses are white as the
surroundings appear to be dark on the horizon.
Lighthouses are round as they are stronger in
this position. They need to be strong to
withstand the force of the waves and the wind.
 Put a picture of Ireland on the board and show
how it is surrounded by water.
 Divide the class into groups of 7/8
 Supply each group with a set role cards and ask
them to choose one no of each. Each group should
have one of lighthouse, one ship and one captain,
one part and rest or rock.
 The ship person is blindfolded the rocks will form
a shape around the lighthouse. The captain will
guide the ship to get passed the front side of the
lighthouse and get beyond all rocks and go to
safety. Then when the ship has got to safety with
the captains help. Then you change roles.
