Looks like a daddy long legs to me. Totally harmless. You could probably get some bug spray in a hardware shop if they really bother you that much.

Either a daddy longlegs or a very spindly spider, can't tell from viewing the pic on my phone. Harmless either way. Live and let live.

Harvest spider, I think?

Spiders are worth having around the house.. They prey on stuff that can actually harm you but do no harm themselves.

Cellar spider. Completely harmless. They like old warm darkish places, bathrooms especially. A hoover will do the trick nicely.

Can't they easily crawl back out of it again?

All spiders in Ireland are harmless.

They're Cellar spiders and they're everywhere at the moment. Unpleasant due to amount but I usually just hoover up the most of them and leave one or two of the smaller ones. They eat House spiders... the bigger, thicker, worse looking spiders. I've currently got a Cellar spider running around above my window. I've named it Bob.

Those spiders are deadly. But only if you're a fly/mosquito/other spider. I find they are more common in winter when it's cold out.

Harmless & quietly hoover up all unattractive creepy crawlier you may have lutking in cracks & under skirting boards - they're seasonal so should be gone in a while. live & let live - you don't want to be killing them or poisoning yourself & damaging paintwork with sprays. You can also chase them out a window with a long piece of cardboard

Tbh after reading about them, for the sheer fact that they prey on those bastarding house spiders that are everywhere come autumn, I'll be keeping these fellas around.

I think the OP has had plenty of advice at this stage. Thread closed.
