Essential role of engineering in Ireland’s sustainable innovation future in a globalised economy An ethos of broad economic and social innovation requires the central role of engineering. This article is about both the book, Gombeens at the Gate, by Fionnbarra Ó Brolcháin (Finbarr Bradley) and his An Roth lecture, as Gaeilge, in 22 Clyde Road, on Wednesday, October 12, 2016. Bradley holds that it is not knowledge itself but rather a culture of learning that is the essential ...

Addressing the IT skills gap and finding the right candidate

He told me that a process, which a couple of years ago ...

3D geoscience techniques improve understanding of what lies beneath

However, modern data collection techniques, coupled with powerful computer generated imagery, have greatly improved our ability to convey and better understand ...

Lilian Bland: Ireland’s first female pilot, the world’s first female aviation engineer

In the history of aviation, the early greats – the so-called ‘pioneers’ – spring to mind. Gustav Whitehead and the Wright Brothers (who really flew first?), Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Louis Blériot have all earned their places in history. The geographic location of Ireland on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean has meant that this country, too, has played no small part. The ground-breaking flight of Alcock and Brown and the exploits of Douglas ‘wrong way’ Corrigan being the most ...
