Abstract
Abstract Eighteen heat flow values for Ireland are described. They range from 52 mW m −2 to 87 mW m −2 and have a mean of 67 mW m −2 . The values are discussed in the context of the tectonic and geological structure of Ireland. Although not unusually high the Irish heat flow values are higher than might be expected for a terrain which is largely Palaeozoic in age. Moreover, there is some evidence for an association of higher than average heat flow values with a recently discovered anomaly of high electrical conductivity in the crust.
