Construction in the southeast: how can the region tackle its current skills shortage?

The construction sector in the southeast is the third-largest private sector in the region, representing in excess of 8% of total regional employment. It has been identified by SOLAS as the sector with the greatest growth potential in the region. However, the sector in the southeast is significantly dependent upon the greater Dublin market. Additionally, most of the large construction companies operating in the region are also operating nationally and internationally. There are ...
Irish-designed software is a game changer for safe disposal of pharmaceutical waste

Irish-designed software is a game changer for safe disposal of pharmaceutical waste

The aim of this literature review is to critically examine current practices within the pharmaceutical/chemical industry regarding handling transportation and disposal of chemical waste generated. Despite rules and regulations for their use, storage and transportation, hazardous chemicals may be involved in industrial and transportation incidents at anytime and anywhere (Chen et al, 1997). This raises the question of whether or not regulations and directives are effective tools in ...
Rebuilding Bannow – mapping the abandoned medieval Wexford town

Rebuilding Bannow – mapping the abandoned medieval Wexford town

The ruined church of St Mary’s of Bannow stands on a grassy headland at the mouth of Bannow Bay, in the south-east corner of Ireland.

The location, the extent and the layout of the town have been the subject of speculation; it has been described variously, and erroneously, as having sunk under the sea, an Irish Heracleion, or ...

Due to their number and ubiquity, it is essential that those responsible for maintaining our roads, railways and canals have a good understanding of the nature of these bridges, including their construction, materials and typology. A good knowledge of bridges is also essential ...

Revealing the hidden medieval history of Clonmel's Old Bridge

The town of Clonmel in Co Tipperary is believed to have been founded by the de Burgos in the 13th century. From 1338 to 1583, the lands were owned by the earls of Desmond.

The bridge is depicted on the town’s coat of arms, which is similar to that of New Ross, and it should be noted that the bridge on ...
