Every task in the Signal Station performed by the Keepers had to be recorded.  As the lives of sailors depended on the functions of the Light and Fog Signal, the Commissioners of Irish Lights had to ensure that everything was in perfect working order all the time.   See Keepers’ Lists of Tasks, Records etc.
