===Ireland===
For a short period, the [[Great Southern and Western Railway]] in [[Ireland]] and its successor, the [[Great Southern Railways]], operated two inside-cylinder {{nowrap|4-8-0T}} shunting locomotives. Intended for [[Shunting (rail)|shunting]] at Dublin Kingsbridge (now [[Dublin Heuston railway station|Heuston]]) and for [[Bank engine|banking]] on the steep gradient out of Cork Glanmire Road (now [[Cork Kent railway station|Kent]]), the first locomotive emerged from the company's Inchicore workshops in 1915 and the second in 1924. They proved unsuccessful, being expensive to operate and unsuitable for sharp curves, and were withdrawn in 1928 and 1931 respectively.<ref name="Murray">{{cite journal |last=Murray|first=D. |date=February 1970|title=Irish Eight-coupled Locomotives|journal=Journal of the Irish Railway Record Society |volume=9 |issue=51 |pages=191–3 }}</ref>

On the Irish [[Three foot gauge railways|three-foot gauge]], the [[Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway]] operated two {{nowrap|4-8-0}} tender locomotives. Built by [[Hudswell Clarke]], they were introduced in 1905 and withdrawn in the 1930s and 1940s. The two were the only tender locomotives ever to operate on that gauge in Ireland and, with two subsequent {{nowrap|[[4-8-4]]}} tank engines from the same manufacturer, were considered to be the most powerful which ever worked on any Irish narrow-gauge railway.<ref name=Murray />
