Builders have shaped Cork's skyline lately, with the docklands filling in along the Lee and new housing pushing out through Glanmire, Ballincollig and Carrigaline. All of it needs site welfare, which is where this directory comes in.

Cork's construction pipeline is one of the busiest in Ireland. The South Docks regeneration is turning old quaysides into apartments and offices, pharma and industry keep contractors busy out at Ringaskiddy and Little Island, and housing schemes continue to spread through Douglas, Glanmire and Carrigaline. Every one of those sites needs toilets from day one, whether it is a single self-contained unit for a house extension or a block of units with a welfare cabin on a larger job.
Suppliers listed here quote for:
Most include a scheduled service visit in the weekly rate, with extra visits available for bigger crews. Ask each supplier to confirm exactly what their servicing covers before you compare prices.
Delivery in Cork takes a bit of local knowledge. The city centre sits on an island between two channels of the Lee, and the northside climbs steeply towards Shandon, so suppliers will ask about your access before they commit a lorry to a narrow terrace or a sloping drive. On tight sites, most can wheel a unit into position by hand if the vehicle can stop nearby.
It is not all construction either. The same firms cover marquee weddings in the East Cork countryside, GAA club fundraisers, agricultural shows across the county and the crowds that arrive for the Cork Jazz Festival every October bank holiday. An event weekend typically costs €110 to €170 per unit. Cork's weather is mild but wet, so ask about ground protection and whether the supplier will reposition a unit if the ground softens mid-hire.
Yes, if it sits on the public road or footpath you need a licence from Cork City Council, or Cork County Council outside the city boundary. On private land, such as your own driveway, garden or a fenced site, no permission is needed, though it is courteous to tell the neighbours.
Three to four weeks is sensible. The Cork Jazz Festival fills the city that weekend and local stock gets booked out for pub gardens, pop-up events and private parties. For a normal weekend, most Cork suppliers can deliver with a few days' notice, sometimes less.
Around €35 to €55 a week is typical for a standard single unit with a weekly service visit included. Delivery and collection are often charged separately, and rates can rise for short hires or sites well outside the city, so ask each supplier for an all-in figure.
