Geological Survey Ireland produces maps, reports and databases, and acts as a knowledge centre and project partner in a number of aspects of Irish geology. [3] The organisation managed the Irish National Seabed Survey (INSS, 1999–2005), which on completion was the world's largest civilian marine mapping programme.
Bedrock geological map of Ireland. Layers of Upper Carboniferous sedimentary rocks, Loop Head, County Clare. The geology of Ireland consists of the study of the rock formations on the island of Ireland. It includes rocks from every age from Proterozoic to Holocene and a large variety of different rock types is represented.
Column 4 indicates on which sheet of the Geological Survey of Ireland's 1:50,000 scale geological map series of Ireland, the fault is shown and named (either on map/s or cross-section/s or both). Column 5 indicates a selection of publications in which references to the fault may be found. See references section for full details of publication.

Column 4 indicates on which sheet of the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland's 1:50,000 scale geological map series of Northern Ireland, the fault is shown and named (either on map/s or cross-section/s or both). Some of the faults are also depicted on the 1:250,000 scale geological map of Northern Ireland. [1]

In the United Kingdom, the term geological map is used. The UK and Isle of Man have been extensively mapped by the British Geological Survey (BGS) since 1835; a separate Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (drawing on BGS staff) has operated since 1947. Two 1:625,000 scale maps cover the basic geology for the UK.
Ireland's geological history includes a wide range of elements, from volcanism and tropical seas to the last glacial period. Ireland was formed in two distinct parts, which slowly joined, uniting about 440 million years ago. As a result of tectonics and the effect of ice, the sea level has risen and fallen.
