    You an bring it to the recycling centre - though I think you need to go to the main county depot, I'm not sure the local ones can handle it. I know in Clare the Inagh central disposal depot has an oil recycling section.

    Also, you might find a friendly local garage will dispose of it for a small fee, they usually have a large drum they dispose of their oil into that's then recycled.

    Please don't get tempted to pour it down the drain, it's extremely poisonous to marine life and will end up polluting your own local area as it's not handled by the treatment plant - it will go through it relatively intact to the ground water.

    I strongly suggest you don't burn it either, the fumes are very noxious and most would fall on your own home. Sorry if you already knew this but I've seen a fair few people mention it as a way to get rid of unwanted waste oil.
