Entries in Ireland cluster heavily: Dublin alone accounts for 140 of the 191 toilets, or 73 per cent. The other 2 cities share the rest. Outside the big city it is worth loading the area once in advance — it then works without a connection.
Step-free access and changing tables
46 per cent of toilets in Ireland are recorded as step-free — a good figure by international comparison. A baby changing table is noted on 32 entries (17 per cent); with small children it is worth checking the features before you set off.
Where these numbers come from
Most entries for Ireland come from OpenStreetMap, the open map volunteers have been building since 2004. On top of that sit places users added in the app themselves, with ratings and photos. The two sources are kept apart so a mistake in one never overwrites the other. An entry reported as gone is hidden rather than deleted — so it can come back if the toilet reopens.
