    try the Geological Survey of Ireland website. You can order geological maps for regions of Ireland there, including stratigraphic cross-sections of the area you are interested in..

    Ask a geologist - me

    Likely clastics, It is the muster basin which consist of a lot of Devonian age river systems. Braided streams and the like. Mainly sandstone and siltstone ill bet. I could check though.
