Geological materials support everything we need to sustain our life as we know it. These materials are split into rocks, minerals and fluids or gas contained in rocks. A key use of these materials is in building (e.g. houses), for things such as foundations, walls, roofs and driveways. The Quarry Directory (2014) provides information on crushed rock, sand and gravel, and dimension stone operations in Ireland. Dimension stone is rock that has been specially chosen and finished (e.g., trimmed, cut, drilled, ground etc.) to exact sizes or shapes.
