In parallel with the pilot studies carried out to develop a national susceptibility map the national landslide database was also developed. This work consisted of several activities: identification of 'new' landslides, rationalisation of the GSI database, validation including fieldwork and documenting the location and attributes of the newly identified landslides.
On completion of the 2013 Geoscience Initiative project two further inventory campaigns were carried out in Counties Kerry and Mayo in 2013 and in Counties Donegal, Galway, Tipperary and Laois/Offaly in 2014. The purpose of this was to ensure that the most comprehensive database was available to underpin the development of the National Landslide Susceptibility Map .
