These maps shows the aggregate potential across Ireland.
To produce these maps, scores were given to each area based on several factors such as rock type suitability, number of quarries, area, elevation etc. The final score was a number between 5 and 100 The maps shows the score -
Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of Ireland would be made up of if these materials were removed. As the bedrock is commonly covere
