Realised Vision

In 1999, to mark the end of the millennium, the Engineers Ireland West Region committee developed the Realised Vision website featuring noteworthy engineering projects in the West region or projects of national and international significance that were led by engineers from the West region.

The information contained on the Realised Vision website was moved to the Engineers Ireland website in 2024. Click the link below to read about the several engineering projects, infrastructure development and personalities which were deemed important to the West region by the Engineers Ireland West Region committee as we welcomed the third millennium.
