County Kilkenny
from above report:
"Gour pools with troglophilic Collembola on the surfaces were observed toward the end of Haddon Hall and in the Crystal Chamber within the Dunmore Cave system (KK4). During the field sorting of a sample from the large, deep pool of water located in The Crystal Chamber, a single juvenile Niphargus sp. was the only fauna recorded. However, this specimen was lost during transferral to the sample pot and could not therefore be identified further. Within the illuminated section of the cave troglophilic springtails (Collembola) and pot worms (Enchytraeidae) were present in some of the pools."

Dr. Marc Dusseiller (CH)
Dr. Marc R. Dusseiller is a transdisciplinary scholar, lecturer for micro- and nanotechnology, cultural facilitator and artist. He works in an integral way to combine science, art and education. He performs DIY (do-it-yourself) workshops in lo-fi electronics, hardware hacking, microscopy, music and robotics. He was co-organizing Dock18, Room for Mediacultures, diy* festival (Zürich, Switzerland), KIBLIX 2011 (Maribor, Slovenia), workshops for artists, schools and children as the former president (2008-12) of the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society, SGMK. Currently, he is developing means to perform bio- and nanotechnology research and dissemination (Hackteria | Open Source Biological Art) in a DIY fashion in kitchens, ateliers and in developing countries.
