These guidelines are intended for Irish Concrete Federation (ICF) members so that they may follow best practice and receive clear information concerning geological heritage in relation to any proposed quarry or related development or land purchase. 

They are also intended as a useful template for any quarry operator in addressing geodiversity issues and thereby contributing to the databases of the Geological Survey Ireland.

This furtherance of geological knowledge will ultimately feed back into Ireland's extractive industry as well as help provide other benefits to society.
