Just been checking the internet. If you have the time and the inclination, check out these sites.

In the US some dry cleaners will take in your old wire hangers and use them. Don’t know if the Irish cleaners will do it, but you could ask. Also, you could ask your local charity shops if they need any.
This site
http://earth911.com/recycling/metal/...othes-hangers/
states that its not that easy to recycle the wire hangers if they have a plastic coating on them.
Or this site
http://www.wisebread.com/what-to-do-with-wire-hangers
has some interesting ideas. I like the suggestion for using them to hang pretty colourful jars for candles.
Or if someone had the skills, what about something like this:
