| How Mullingar might look with a volcano nearby |
A low flying air ship utilizing the most recent mapping innovation has revealed the 330 million-year-old rock developments on the Westmeath/Offaly outskirt south of Mullingar.
It additionally indicated groups of volcanic rocks a few kilometers under the ground close Strokestown, Co Roscommon – some piece of a noteworthy deficiency line that can be followed through Ireland to Scotland.
The revelations were made in the most recent piece of the Government's Tellus program.
Flying at 90metres, air ship use innovation to see through Ireland's profound frigid stores and broad peat spread.
Specialists said the destinations will be of enthusiasm to organizations watchful for mineral stores.

Beam Scanlon, important geologist at the Geological Survey of Ireland, said: "Tellus keeps on uncovering unprecedented new detail in Ireland's geographical scene covered underneath our feet, expanding after existing information holes and creating regular asset opportunities.
"A comprehension of Ireland's topography is indispensable for natural, wellbeing and financial reasons and the information will be invited by a wide scope of partners for agrarian, radon aversion, groundwater security and mineral investigation purposes."
Tellus plans to finish a topographical jigsaw of the island of Ireland and wants to have a large portion of the nation secured before the end of 2017.
The Midlands discoveries are huge as they make up another bit of the jigsaw which started in 2007.
The fourth period of Tellus is in progress crosswise over eastern Ireland where the overview over Offaly, Kildare , Meath , Dublin and northern parts of Wicklow and Laois is just about 60 for every penny complete.
Right now the undertaking is centered around country district Dublin .
The uniquely prepared flying machine conveys three instruments on load up measuring attraction, conductivity and regular radiation of the stones and soils underneath.
Tellus is a piece of Ireland's earth science office, the Geological Survey of Ireland, established in 1845.
The overview is in charge of gathering land data and giving guidance and data including maps, reports and databases.
It is a Department's piece of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and has around 50 staff.
