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

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

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 🧵

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

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?

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

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 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.

Great to see the floor @the_PDAC filling up with our geological colleagues from all over the world. @EuroGeoSurveys @GeoscienceIre @iCRAGcentre all ready to go. #criticalrawmaterials #Mining #PDAC2023

We’ve arrived in Toronto for @the_PDAC #PDAC2023. The stand for the island of Ireland is ready and we’re looking forward to seeing our colleagues from @Dept_ECC and @GeoSurveyNI.

The more I think about this the more impressive it gets. 50.33 at any World Indoors is usually enough to win it and has always been good enough for a medal. "New Irish record" doesn't convey how fast this is. Top 15 athletes of all time fast..

Big thanks to our @Dept_ECC and @wicklowcoco colleagues for their expert input. Always good to get out into the field, especially on such a lovely day in Wicklow. #criticalrawmaterials #miningheritage

Great day in #Avoca #Wicklow
Excellent fieldtrip to historic mine workings, reviewing safety works, remediation and potential. Great work by @wicklowcoco and @Dept_ECC with lots more to do!

Interesting move @IKEA Selling me a Dundra table with no instructions booklet in it. Do I get a prize if I manage to put it together? #ChallengeAccepted
