Hi all, I would like to know if anyone has knowledge of any outdoor public faucet locations such as the one on Killiney Strand Beach in South Dublin? When I say locations I mean across the entirety of Ireland, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks much! 😁

Check the local authorities, it is their property

Also, thousands of broken/disused water pumps around

Peoples Park in Dun Laoghaire has a drinking water fountain. I would think the county council websites might be a good place to start to get a list of the ones that they provide

Mmm I was thinking more countryside, someplace I can park my van next to.

Not a faucet but there's a well near Kentstown Co. Meath that you can park at: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vSi1YSttsEsovVsw6

That is one of the better choices I've come across, I like that suggestion a lot. Do you happen to know more wells like this one? Thanks a lot! 😁

There are taps at harbours owned by Waterways Ireland.
These are inland navigations such as the Shannon, Barrow, Grand and Royal Canals etc.

A mountain spring just outside Woodenbridge in Wicklow. The water is excellent. https://www.google.com/maps/@52.8278958,-6.224846,3a,75y,183.57h,53.89t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6Aqc8IteXtXLpQdm1IxVzw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
