Geography, more than any other area of study, equips students with a breadth of knowledge and analytical tools applicable to the people and places they know. 2/3

It is a theoretically rich and empirically grounded discipline, uniquely positioned to respond to the complex social, political and environmental challenges that Ireland will face in the 21st century. 3/3

It has been an honour to tell you about Roscommon and our research on its Group Water Schemes. We believe that geographical work in and about the county demonstrates the great value of the discipline. 1/3

A focus on the rurality of Ireland's political economy encourages us to rethink the relationship between the core and the periphery, and the very way which urbanisation, industrialisation and financialisation take place. 6/

His work continues to be of relevance to Roscommon and the Irish countryside. The story map 'How Milk Went Global' is a wonderful, thought-provoking introduction to the contemporary dairy industry. 5/

Unfortunately, rurality has long been a neglected topic in geographical work on political economy, where emphasis is instead placed on urbanisation, industrialisation and (more recently) financialisation. 1/

Insightful thread for #RoscommonWeek
Political ecologists don't approach the Irish countryside as a pristine natural environment, but as an industrial landscape that is the result of decades of pasture-based, intensive livestock farming. 1/9

It's great to see #RoscommonWeek being extensively covered by our own @PBresnihan and @WSchemes (@arielle_hesse and @jimmerricks) - anyone interested in geography, political ecology, or Roscommon is definitely being spoiled... #YearOfGeography rolls on and we're digging it!

We have created a topological map of the Pollacat Springs GWS treatment plant in an attempt to better explore how this has been achieved. The map can be interactively explored across three phases. 4/4

@geogsocire • #RoscommonWeek • #YearOfGeography
In Roscommon this has been achieved in collaboration with third-party providers such as Veolia and Glan Agua, through state-sponsored Design, Build and Operate contracts. 3/4

To better understand how agricultural and environmental regulation is conceived and implemented in Ireland, we have put together this graphic. It is a work-in-progress but gives some indication of the complexity involved. 9/9
@geogsocire • #RoscommonWeek • #YearOfGeography
Irish farmers believe in and work tirelessly for a better future for their families, communities and country. It is important to remember both this and the broader economic and regulatory conditions in which they operate. 8/9
@geogsocire • #RoscommonWeek • #YearOfGeography
The sector is already heavily regulated and subject to a confusing assortment of interdependent and at times conflicting payment schemes. It is the job of many a Teagasc advisor to help farmers navigate this. 7/9
