Coast Watching Service : ウィキペディア英語版 | Coast Watching Service
The Irish Defence Forces established a Coast Watching Service in the run up to World War II, known in the Republic of Ireland as The Emergency, while the State remained neutral. Between 1939 and 1942 the construction of 83 Lookout Posts, LOPs, took place at strategic points (every 5–15 miles) along the Irish coastline and the local volunteers (Coastwatchers) serving at these posts were responsible for monitoring the Irish coastline for belligerent activity at sea. After the hostilities ended most of these buildings were abandoned and some were removed. Traces of a significant number remain in place and some are in relatively good repair. In general, structures in more isolated locations have tended to remain in place. ==Coast watchers== Coast watchers worked around the clock in pairs on eight or twelve hour shifts. One man operated the telephone inside the LOP , the other patrolled outside. They had to report every activity observed at sea or in the air in the vicinity of their LOP. Each LOP was assigned a unique identifying number starting with "LOP 1" in County Louth and continuing in a clockwise direction around the coast finishing with "LOP 82" at Inishowen in County Donegal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht "> title=Building of the Month - January 2014: The Lookout Post )〕 LOP 83 is located between LOP 35 and LOP 36 in County Kerry
