    Can I sleep in my motorhome? National rule Ireland Tolerated

    The light applies to car parks and community places. Official stopovers, campsites and farms are always allowed – staying overnight is what they are for.

    There is no nationwide ban, but every local authority can prohibit parking motorhomes across whole areas, hence the many "No Overnight Parking" signs. A motorhome counts as a "temporary dwelling", breaching such an order is an offence and on a repeat conviction the vehicle can be forfeited (Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act 1948, s. 31).

    The information comes from OpenStreetMap and from campers. Check signs and bans on site – the light is guidance, not legal advice. Caraplace accepts no liability for accuracy or currency; you stay at your own risk.
