    Can anybody give me a broad overview, or point me in the direction of an on-line resource describing the geological evolution of Ireland during the Tertiary, and during the Quaternary?

    Thanks.

    The Geology of Ireland, by Charles Holland.
    Reading the Irish Landscape, by Frank Mitchell.

    They'll get you started.

    I got a copy of The Geology of Ireland, by Charles Holland.

    Excellent book, very in depth analysis.
    However as a resource to distill the general geological evolution of Ireland during either period into 30 minutes worth of prose for an exam, it a bit to specific.

    I wouldn't call it a very in-depth analysis kind of book. It's a nice broad overview of things. If you want an easy book to read then get the Geology of Northern Ireland. You could read the chapters in that on the Quaternary and Tertiary in about 10 minutes.

    Hi, heres a link to an overview of the quaternary in north of england/scotland. The history is fairly similar to Ireland. Its laid out quite simply, its good for getting a basic understanding that you can then build on.
