Places whose own article says it was shot there
2 places whose own Wikipedia article names this series as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this series’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Kilfenora Ireland
“Much of the TV show Father Ted (1995–98) was filmed there.” Wikipedia
-
Kilnaboy Ireland
“Glanquin house, Kilnaboy was used as an exterior of "Craggy Island Parochial House" in the comedy series Father Ted.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this series as shot in County Clare, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
