Survey Ireland was a success again - lots of the usual faces and ran smoothly and to plan in Dunboyne (with the usual ice cream treat).
Very wide range of speakers - starting with Lorraine McNerney and the UN GGIM Sustainable Development Goals and followed closely by James Kavanagh and the RICS standards work. I was particularly interested in a doc he mentioned on promoting security of tenure in developing countries. As well as that we had a talk on mental wellbeing - an important topic for such a busy profession and even had a talk on projections finishing up as a slide on snakes and ladders. The Discovery Programme did the usual visual feast for the yes on their range of projects over the years - Skellig Michael in particular.
The age-old riddle remains unanswered - how to get students to attend these events. There were free tickets this year and I still only saw one student!
Well done to Niamh for arranging the excellent lineup and to Edel, Patrick and team for keeping things running so smoothly.
