We send researchers into the communities around major energy and infrastructure projects in development across Ireland, and turn what they find into proprietary field reports.
Request accessAround each project we cover, our researchers spend time in the immediate community itself. They hold in-depth interviews and community conversations with residents, farmers, business owners and local representatives on every side of the question. Hearings and headlines capture the loudest voices on both sides. Our research reaches the people the process rarely hears, however they lean.
The result is a structured field report:
Each project is then monitored. Updates follow hearings, decisions and shifts in local sentiment.
Ground Signal is an independent market intelligence publication covering the local acceptance of energy and infrastructure projects. It is written for developers, local and national government, investors, lenders and suppliers who follow how projects are received locally while they are still in development.

Thank you. Conversations like yours are the core of our work. They carry the reality of a community, as it is rather than as others describe it, to the people making decisions about these projects.
Your words are quoted anonymously, by role only (“a local farmer”, “a business owner”), unless you have explicitly agreed to be named. Recordings and notes are used solely for accuracy and are never published or posted anywhere.
Ground Signal is independent. We are not engaged by the developer, the local authority, or any campaign for or against a project.
