Yurray! the sun has at last shown its face in #Galway ! But no panic Met Éireann! your weather forecasts are always spot on. Next band of dark clouds have reached the #AranIslands & outer #Galway Bay. New boardwalk on Wolfe Tone bridge is advancing by leaps & bounds; Deo gratias!

Did you know that one of the most ambitious nature restoration projects in the history of the State is kicking off in Glenveagh National Park, Co. Donegal? I went to see it for myself and meet the team leading the renewal of ecological processes at landscape scale.

FREE LECTURE. Not too late to pop along to our lunchtime lecture TODAY if you're in Dublin city centre! Come hear about entomologist, Cynthia Longfield, and her role in the St George expedition of 1924! ria.ie/library-luncht…

Got to my beloved Youghal today - she did not disappoint! Here's Kathleen taking a seat: #stormkathleen

Looking forward to presenting at the Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland (IAI) conference this weekend. Insights into on-site activities at #Drumclay crannog from #pollen analysis. Looks like a great line up of speakers too!

#StormKathleen may have passed but the energy it has imparted to the Atlantic waters in #GalwayBay still much in evidence at Trá na gCeann (Silverstrand), #Bearna this afternoon at high tide

Great work all. This is a really practical resource.
