I worked as an intern in the National Biodiversity Data Centre, assisting the Invasive species Research officer Colette O’Flynn. As part of my work, I updated the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species entry for Ireland for submission and publication to the IUCN: this involved adding information on species distribution and pathway of introduction, where lacking; removing erroneous entries; and expanding the initial list of ~300 species to over 1,100. I conducted a literature of the invasive species in Ireland in order to write the species profiles for the Biodiversity Ireland website and for writing preliminary drafts of information sheets for the ‘Species of Union Concern’ for dissemination to the relevant bodies (e.g. NPWS, customs, etc.). I also assisted Ms. O’Flynn in the delivery of a number of workshops on invasive species and their identification, to the general public and relevant stakeholders (e.g. County Council staff). Additionally I spent 6 weeks assisting Lynda Weekes, working on mapping aquatic plants as part of her PhD project to produce a classification system for river macrophytes.
