Portable toilet hire in Dublin

Match days, festivals and a packed summer calendar

Dublin's year opens with TradFest in Temple Bar and the St Patrick's Festival in March, then barely lets up. Summer brings big outdoor concerts at Marlay Park, St Anne's Park and Malahide Castle, the Dublin Horse Show fills the RDS in August, and Croke Park and the Aviva Stadium pull huge crowds on match days right through the year. The Dublin Marathon rounds things off in October.

All of that puts real pressure on local hire stock, so if you are organising a fun run, street feast, club fundraiser or private party anywhere in the county, it pays to lock in units early. Suppliers listed on LooLocator can quote for single event units, banks of toilets with urinals for bigger crowds, wheelchair accessible units and luxury trailers for weddings and corporate marquees. Weekend event hire typically lands somewhere between €120 and €180 per unit, though quotes vary with numbers and servicing.

Site hire and access across the city and county

Away from the festival fields, most hires in Dublin are quieter, longer jobs: a toilet on a house extension in Clontarf or Terenure, a renovation in a Georgian terrace where the only access is a narrow rear laneway, or welfare units on larger builds in the Docklands and around the M50. Standard weekly site hire typically works out at €40 to €60 including a scheduled service visit, though tight access can affect the price.

It is worth telling suppliers up front about anything awkward: on-street parking outside the property, a shared lane, steps, or a basement-level yard, because delivery vehicles need to get reasonably close. Greater Dublin is covered by four local authorities, Dublin City Council, Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, and suppliers listed here serve all of them, from Swords and Howth down to Dún Laoghaire, Tallaght and the Wicklow border.
