Born in 1991, I began collecting minerals in late 2003. I am currently based in Co. Galway on the West Coast of Ireland studying Physics and Applied Physics in the National University of Ireland Galway. If you're resident in the country or a collector of Irish minerals please do not hesitate to contact me as mineral collecting in Ireland is something of an enigma... With such a rich mineralogical heritage one would assume that a fine crop of collectors would accompany it, however compared to the UK, the number over here is disproportionately low. Collectors appear to be an endangered species and so it is very important that what little of us are here should get in contact!
I generally only collect specimens from the Rep. of Ireland in particular those from
Silvermines, Co. Tipperary
.
I am very interested in hearing from you if you wish to trade or sell specimens from
Silvermines, Co. Tipperary
. Even if you do not wish to part with the specimen I would love to see a photograph of it. Please see my article for a more in depth list of the minerals I am looking for.

Barry Flannery's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
Barry Flannery's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
