The Dictionary of Irish Architects is an

engineers
who designed buildings and structures, some builders, some artists and craftsmen, and some amateurs and writers on architectural subjects.

Architects from Britain and elsewhere who never resided in Ireland but designed buildings there are not given full biographical treatment, and only their Irish works are listed. Irish-born architects who emigrated are similarly treated; their careers after their departure from Ireland are not described in detail, and only their Irish works are listed in full.

The Dictionary of Irish Architects was created and compiled in the Irish Architectural Archive (IAA) over a period of thirty years. It was made publicly available online in January 2009. According to the IAA it remains a "work in progress" with new data added and updated since its initial release.[3] As of 2018, it reportedly contained 6,700 entries.[4]
