| Eolas Dualfhoinse | Compilation of the Directory As with previous directories a questionnaire mail shot was sent to all known active quarries and pits. Mines were not included – there are currently only two active metal mines in the country, the Navan and Lisheen zinc-lead mines. A decision was taken to be as comprehensive as possible and, following detailed compilation of information in relation to all known quarries, approximately 1,700 questionnaires were issued. Most questionnaires (for 22 counties) were sent out in the latter half of 2012 with the remainder being sent out in 2013. The initial rate of response was very low but, after targeted follow-up phone calls in late 2013 and mid-2014, a total of c. 360 replies were received, for both active and inactive quarries and pits. Since compilation commenced the intention has been to publish the Directory online, via a web-viewer on GSI’s website (www.gsi.ie). It is also available in hard copy format. The hard copy provides basic information for each operation, including contact details and a location map. The location map included for each site uses the Ordnance Survey of Ireland’s (OSI) 1:50,000 Discovery Series base which is reproduced at a scale that fits within the page format and shows recognisable local towns, villages or other features. The OSI maps are reproduced with permission (Ordnance Survey of Ireland Licence No. EN 0047214). The Quarry Number appears on the top left of the page. This numbering system is different to that used in previous directories – many of the quarries and pits included in previous versions are now inactive and there is only limited continuity between this edition and its predecessors. The new system is a simple county-based system, using as a prefix a county identifier based on that used in the motor registration system followed by a number At the top right of each entry the type of operation is indicated by: CR Crushed rock SG Sand and gravel DIM Dimension stone Where a site is listed more than once, e.g. where it operates as a crushed rock quarry and a dimension stone quarry, there are separate entries but the same number has been assigned to each entry. The operators have supplied all the information contained in this edition. Appendix A reproduces the questionnaire supplied to operators. We would like to thank all operators who have co-operated with the survey. As inclusion in the directory is dependent on the return of a questionnaire and/or a successful follow-up phone call, the omission of an operation from this Directory does not necessarily mean that it is not operating. The intention is to update the database on a regular basis so that new or corrected information can be entered at any time. At the start of each section of the directory, an overview map indicating the location of quarries and pits is shown. Quarries within the specified county boundaries are given a label. The location of quarries outside of the county boundary are shown for reference, but are not labelled. For each entry, the quarry or pit location is indicated using a grid reference. Coordinates are in TM65 / Irish Grid (EPSG code 29902). The digital data was created using ArcGIS. The point locations were manually created using the Ordnance Survey of Ireland’s (OSI) 1:50,000 Discovery Series base map. The attribute data was also entered manually. The data was reprojected to IRENET95 Irish Tranverse Mercator (EPSG code 2157). In 2024, The data was imported into GSI’s ESRI enterprise database using ArcGIS Pro. The data structure was reviewed and a new database was created in ArcGIS Enterprise. Using ArcGIS Pro 3, the dataset was renamed as part of a GSI data standardisation process. Most fields were renamed and an alias added. Metadata was updated to the new GSI standard based on INSPIRE and ISO standards. |
