    amm 25,000 acres??

    thats about 100km2???

    Which is 1 of the sub zones on the map?

    that right?
    Nope; 25,000 (Statute) acres = 39.0625 square miles = 101.1715 square Km.

    One grid square on the map (100 x 100 Km) = 10,000 square Km.


    25,000 acres is still an enormous amount of land; it's 10.06 Km/6.25 Miles square.
    That's about 1/8th of the total area of County Louth.

    Yup Rovi is right (imagine that)
    For reference, the grid squares on the map are about 2.5 million acres

    According to Teagasc, average Irish farm size is 32 Ha (79 Acres), so that'd be 316 individual landowners.
    This would vary enormously from one area to another of course.

    For what its worth i have access to one holding of about 10,000 acres on the west cost.. so another 15thou is easy when your surveying for new roads or pipe lines.. setting out one off houses, Making maps for land reg needs.. carrying out site surveys... do some of think that only Dublin gets mapped!!:D
    made maps for about 8 years and meet to or three new land owners weekly.. Hardly anybody refused- some afraid of thoughts of .22 but welcomed shotguns and snares(snares in empty Fields only)..:cool:

    well done that man!!! thought i was going to have to call in the OU to sort it out. anyway over the 8 year or so its only about 60acres a week!! thats if i had to get it all.. i have alredy said that one holding is over 10000acres, that leaves about 15k acres and it works out to around 36 acres a week..
    some weeks you,d be indoors all week doing building surveys and other weeks out on road widening projects and you get 1000 acres then none for a while..
    Worked all over ireland, really miss that work now-- Farmers are the best people in the world(most of them):)
