The Institute of Geologists of Ireland (IGI) this week launched a series of five factsheets on mining and mineral exploration in Ireland. 

The Minerals Information Working Group was convened in March 2020 to provide factual, science-led information on mineral exploration and mining in Ireland; the series aims to support learning and help inform the public conversation, including among communities, environmental interest groups, public representatives, and anyone with an interest in Ireland’s green energy future.

The factsheets and accompanying press release are on the IGI website. Coverage by The Irish Times can be found here .

Geoscience Ireland is pleased to have contributed to this process.
