Description: <abstract>The mapping of these records was crucial in establishing a baseline and determining the distribution and spread of invasive alien species within County Clare.</abstract>
<purpose>The establishment of a baseline on Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in County Clare and the development of a draft county-level management strategy. This project aims to provide a current review of the distribution and threats posed by IAS in County Clare, and to present a draft strategy for a coordinated control programme. It is intended that this strategy will form the catalyst for the establishment of a county level working group on IAS control involving all stakeholders.</purpose>
