This map shows drainage classes of soils across Ireland based on examination of the soil profile. Organic soils, comprising either peat or alluvium, are separated out from four drainage classes across mineral soils; well drained, imperfectly drained, poorly drained or very poorly drained. Made ground in urban areas is also illustrated.

Provenance information	The modelling of soil drainage classes across the Republic of Ireland, and the consequent subdivision of these wide swathes of areas land into varying sub-classes of soil drainage status, used a focussed methodology and field experience garnered across all geomorphic sub-regions of the country. A number of already-existing datasets were available to help constrain this modelling process; those of most use were the GSI subsoil permeability map, historical soil survey data from Teagasc, and field notes, photographs, and the experience of mapping soils and subsoils across Ireland.
