Question:

where are Irelands natural resources?

I‘m doing a project on Ireland and I need to know WHERE are Ireland‘s natural resources. I know what they are, but I need to know where they are located, maps would be great or links to websites :)

Answer:

Natural gas, peat, copper, lead, zinc, silver, barite, gypsum, limestone, dolomite -from cat
Ireland has few natural resources. There is a gas-field off the coast of Kinsale in Co.Cork in the southwest, and another one has recently been discovered at Corrib off the coast of Mayo. There are large peat-deposits at the Burren in Co.Clare. There are also large oil-deposits off Rockall island that are being disputed between Ireland, the UK, Iceland and Denmark though a solution on a carve-up is allegedly closer.
