Eire Ecology

Eire ecology is a team of hardworking individuals with a passion for the environment.

We believe in providing ecological services for developments by incorporating the needs of the natural world.

Through consultation, we determine our clients’ needs and apply our experience of environmental legislation to create a plan to move the project from planning through to post-construction.

We work closely with Council planners, NPWS, Engineers and Hydrologists to provide clients with a cohesive plan.

Shane O Neill

In addition to our core team, we work in collaboration with a number of subcontractors that are experts in their field which include a number of Ornithologists and an arboriculture consultant.

Keith O’Dowd

Dog trainer/handler

Keith is an established dog trainer who has specialised in windfarm collision monitoring for over five years.

Keith coordinates our dog handlers and team of German wire-haired pointers. Keith takes pride in overseeing the ongoing training and development of the dog team.

Keith and Bubby have recently achieved an 83% searcher efficiency at trials on a wind farm site in Boggeragh Co. Cork containing a high percentage of conifer plantation – a difficult habitat to search within.

We use GPS to track dog and handler and calculate collision rates for your wind farm.
