| Administrative History | Joseph Beete Jukes became one of the local directors of the Geological Survey of Ireland, succeeding Thomas Oldham (1816-1878), on 30 November 1850. Alongside his directorship of the Survey, Oldham had held the chair of geology in Trinity College, Dublin, and Jukes had hoped to do likewise, to supplement his income. However the chair instead went to Samuel Haughton. |
