@wlrfm The individual count totals are fairly meaningless without the rest of the data. Is there a reason Waterford doesn't give the classic count layout like virtually every other county? This doesn't even say what count 3 was counting! Who was eliminated or was it a surplus.

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

@WaterfordCounci Is there any chance of a classic aul spreadsheet layout for the counts so we can see where the transfers are going each time. The dashboard looks lovely but the layout doesn't make it easy to find the information!

Always interesting to attend @UNECE Resource Management Week @UNGeneva on behalf of @GeolSurvIE and @Dept_ECC Key discussions with @EU_Growth about how the Critical Raw Materials Act will be implemented across #Europe #rawmaterials #SDGs

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

Great to see a proper scientific discussion on foot of this paper. A lack of published data and literature has made this a challenging problem to unravel so it's fantastic to see work published, challenged and defended or amended in line with the data. #Science

[Christopher Brough @ChrisPBrough]

A thread responding to some feedback received for our paper 👇. Much of which is welcome and well received. No progress is possible without critical feedback of some form and the importance of the defective concrete problem requires it 🧵

@GeolSurvIE @WeAreTUDublin @Dept_ECC Great work as always by @GeolSurvIE drillers. For context - that hole is as deep as 5 Poolbeg chimneys stacked on top of each other!

📢 The agenda for #Geoscience2023 is now available! Join us @Dept_ECC on Nov 7 at Dublin Castle to explore Geoscience for a better future, featuring talks on #geothermal, water, minerals and coastal developments. Full agenda and registration here: https://t.co/ihgLR2Dxbs 🌍💧🔋

@BirdWatchIE Found this chap a bit worse for wear on the road to Cruagh woods in Waterford. Stopped the car to make sure it didn't stay in the middle of the road but it took a bit of persuading to fly off to a nearby tree. Just in case anyone sees it in the area.

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

If both teams have scored 4 tries and @Scotlandteam are ahead by 16 points then @IrishRugby are out and @Springboks win the group. But if Ireland let Scotland score another try they qualify in second and S. Africa go home. Did @WorldRugby think this through?

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

These @rugbyworldcup permutations for @IrishRugby @Scotlandteam and @Springboks seem weird. The game could be heading towards Ireland crashing out unless Scotland score more points? Do I understand these rules correctly? #RugbyWorldCup2023

@Con_Keppel @PlunkettKeith Have a look at https://t.co/Hc1JOAhDV4 in Alta Badia. Aparthotel so helps with flexibility around fussy eaters, napping, head space for adults etc... Cortina a great spot as well but can be pricey. Come back to us for hiking and climbing routes if you end up in the Dolomites.

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

This lovely bottle turned up from my wife and kids today - I wonder if it's a sign that I've been talking about our @GeolSurvIE project with @WaterfordWhisky a bit too much. #téireoir

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

Well that's just special.... Got my tickets for the 400 heats in Paris #olympics but may need to see if I can get to a final now!! Blown away by how good @rhasidatadeleke is and how good she could become!

[Athletics Ireland @irishathletics]

💥ADELEKE CLAIMS NCAA GOLD WITH NEW NATIONAL RECORD💥

Rhasidat Adeleke claimed gold at the NCAA Championships in the early hours of this morning, breaking her own Irish 400m record to become the first Irish sprinter ever to win an NCAA title🤩⤵️

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

Seriously @VirginMediaIE ?? Right before CL final kickoff. Internet and TV gone out of the blue. #nothappy

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

What an achievement - tickets in the bag for the first round of games, can't wait to see this team in the flesh in Paris! #Olympics

[Irish Rugby @IrishRugby]

SEE YOU IN PARIS 2024! 🇫🇷

#Ireland7s | @TritonLake

[Eoin McGrath @ExplorationEoin]

Fantastic performance from @rhasidatadeleke Managed to snag tickets to the 400m heats at the Olympics next year to hopefully see the live show!

[Athletics Ireland @irishathletics]

50:45 and second place overall for @rhasidatadeleke in the NCAA DI 400m split final ⚡️Out on her own in the first final with a 23:07 opening 200m 🤯

Britton Wilson took gold in 49.48 (second fastest in history).

Thanks to all the team in @GeolSurvIE for their hard work on this. Great to have some facts and figures around our green transition.

[Geological Survey IE @GeolSurvIE]

The Green Metals report, commissioned by @Dept_ECC and compiled by Geological Survey Ireland in discussion with the Geoscience Policy Division is now available to download from our website. Full details here:

Huge shout out to the #minerals team @GeolSurvIE who worked on this. They physically trawled through the huge volume of paper exploration records to make sure that everything in the Open File collection was captured. Great to have phase 1 complete.

[Geological Survey IE @GeolSurvIE]

Geological Survey Ireland @Dept_ECC is proud to announce the release of a new #MineralExploration #BoreholeDatabase capturing holes drilled in Ireland between 1957-2002 as documented in our Open Files.

@BritGeoSurvey @GeolSoc @k_hanghoj Congratulations @k_hanghoj "Excellence" doesn't even come close to describing it!
