Behind the guides
The same records that power a paid report.
Every figure here reads from the 12 official sources our reports use, so an article can't drift out of date while the product moves on.
How we write these
Every figure traces back
to an official source.
Official records only
Bands, deadlines and designations come from the same 12 government sources our reports use: Revenue, the OPW, the EPA, the SEAI, the CSO and the rest.
Wired to the product
The tables here render from the very same data modules that generate a paid report, so a figure can't quietly go stale in an article while the product moves on.
Limits stated plainly
Where a dataset is only published at county level, we say so rather than implying address-level precision the record doesn't support.
Official data sourced from Irish government agencies
