For Ireland, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) submitted to Eurostat and OECD in 2024 exceptionally high estimates of Business R&D expenditure for 2022 and 2023. These estimates drew on data collected on in-house R&D expenditure from the Community Innovation Survey 2022 and Business Expenditure on Research and Development Survey 2023, which the CSO had confirmed with the relevant businesses. The OECD, following its customary review, recommended that the CSO reassess the estimates and source data according to Frascati Manual guidelines on large capital expenditures. The CSO conducted a further review and queried the relevant enterprises in more detail to clarify the classification of capital expenditure. Responses from the enterprises indicated that a significant part of the reported capital expenditure was for both R&D and other purposes. The CSO revised the data based on the revised responses and recalculated the national data for Ireland, submitting the revised estimates to Eurostat and OECD ahead of plans for domestic release in April 2025.

The methodology used by the higher education institutions to report their R&D figures was harmonized starting from reference year 2018, which resulted in a downward break in the HERD series. R&D personnel data in the Higher Education sector increased markedly in 2018 due to methodological improvements for reporting research-active permanent academic staff in technological universities and institutes of technology, and for assigning research time coefficients in third-level institutions. From 2012, data on researchers in the higher education sector include PhD students. As of 2000, personnel data in the government sector were surveyed in FTE. Prior to 2000, data were collected for human resources devoted to S&T in FTE, and the R&D expenditure to total S&T expenditure ratio was applied.

The government data were revised back to 1992, as some government expenditures are no longer classified as R&D.

Prior to 2004, EU funds were included in GBARD data.

This feature layer represents the proportion of households that have a water supply. The layer has been developed as a proxy to represent SDG 6.1.1. ‘Proportion of Population Using Safely Managed Drinking Water Services' for Ireland. Census 2016 data produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and Administrative County boundary data produced by Tailte Éireann were used to create this feature layer.In 2015 UN countries adopted a set of 17 goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to help achieve the goals set out in the agenda by 2030. Governments are committed to establishing national frameworks for the achievement of the 17 Goals and to review progress using accessible quality data. With these goals in mind the CSO and Tailte Éireann are working together to link geography and statistics to produce indicators that help communicate and monitor Ireland’s performance in relation to achieving the 17 sustainable development goals.The indicator displayed supports the efforts to achieve goal number 6 which aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

This feature layer represents Sustainable Development Goal indicator 3.5.2 'Prevalence of Drinking Alcohol as Percentage of the Population' for Ireland.

Note that the NUTS 3 boundary refers to the former Regional Authorities established under the NUTS Regulation (Regulation (EU) 1059/2003). These boundaries were subsequently revised in 2016 through Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2066 amending annexes to Regulation 1059/2003 (more info).

The methodology used by the higher education institutions to report their R&D figures was harmonized starting from reference year 2018, which resulted in a downward break in the HERD series. R&D personnel data in the Higher Education sector increased markedly in 2018 due to methodological improvements for reporting research-active permanent academic staff in technological universities and institutes of technology, and for assigning research time coefficients in third-level institutions. From 2012, data on researchers in the higher education sector include PhD students. As of 2000, personnel data in the government sector were surveyed in FTE. Prior to 2000, data were collected for human resources devoted to S&T in FTE, and the R&D expenditure to total S&T expenditure ratio was applied.

The government data were revised back to 1992, as some government expenditures are no longer classified as R&D.

Prior to 2004, EU funds were included in GBARD data.

IE: GOVERD Financed: Business Sector data was reported at 2.821 % in 2022. This records a decrease from the previous number of 3.053 % for 2021. IE: GOVERD Financed: Business Sector data is updated yearly, averaging 4.443 % from Dec 1981 (Median) to 2022, with 41 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 23.939 % in 1992 and a record low of 0.235 % in 2003. IE: GOVERD Financed: Business Sector data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Ireland – Table IE.OECD.MSTI: Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development: OECD Member: Annual.

For Ireland, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) submitted to Eurostat and OECD in 2024 exceptionally high estimates of Business R&D expenditure for 2022 and 2023. These estimates drew on data collected on in-house R&D expenditure from the Community Innovation Survey 2022 and Business Expenditure on Research and Development Survey 2023, which the CSO had confirmed with the relevant businesses. The OECD, following its customary review, recommended that the CSO reassess the estimates and source data according to Frascati Manual guidelines on large capital expenditures. The CSO conducted a further review and queried the relevant enterprises in more detail to clarify the classification of capital expenditure. Responses from the enterprises indicated that a significant part of the reported capital expenditure was for both R&D and other purposes. The CSO revised the data based on the revised responses and recalculated the national data for Ireland, submitting the revised estimates to Eurostat and OECD ahead of plans for domestic release in April 2025.
