Analysis

What this data actually tells you

Mining and Quarrying in Ireland runs on a multi-stage authorisation system rooted in the Minerals Development Acts (1940 to 2017) and related legislation, administered by the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment. Exploration is undertaken under its own licensing system, separate from actual mining, which is controlled instead by a State Licence, Lease or Permission — meaning a company can hold rights to explore without ever holding rights to extract, and the two need checking independently.

Before any of that, planning permission is required for any mineral development, and practically all mines and most quarries need an environmental impact assessment before planning permission can even be obtained. Proposed โ€˜scheduled mineralsโ€™ developments face a further layer: an Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) licence from the EPA, covering air, water, waste and noise pollution, issued only after planning permission is secured. For verification, an Irish mining or quarrying operator’s actual authorisation depends on checking multiple sequential steps — environmental impact assessment, planning permission, and, where scheduled minerals are involved, an EPA IPC licence — not any single document.

Who uses Ireland mining and quarrying ownership data

The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.

โ›๏ธ

State licence/lease/permission distinction

Mining in Ireland is controlled by State Licence, Lease or Permission, granted under the Minerals Development Acts, while exploration runs under a separate licensing system — a company can hold an exploration licence without any actual mining authorisation, or vice versa.

๐Ÿ“œ

IPC licence for scheduled minerals

Proposed โ€˜scheduled mineralsโ€™ developments need an Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) licence from the EPA — covering air, water, waste and noise pollution — granted only after planning permission, meaning a mining operator needs both planning and EPA authorisation, not one or the other.

๐Ÿฆ

Environmental impact assessment requirement

Practically all mines and most quarries need an environmental impact assessment before planning permission can even be obtained — a real, checkable procedural step that precedes the mining or quarrying authorisation itself.
