FAQs

Row

Is this dashboard being updated?

As of October 2022, the dashboard is no longer being updated. With a number of data sources being discontinued and the acute phases of the pandemic behind us, the usefulness of the dashboard had diminished.

Why are some of the statistics here different than the Department of Health GeoHive Covid data hub?

The Department of Health GeoHive Covid data hub and the HPSC should be considered the authoritative sources of data on Covid-19 in Ireland. Some of the statistics here may vary because they’ve been sourced from cross country datasets like those from the ECDC and Our World in Data dataset. This means there may be delays or small discrepancies between the two datasets and some of the calculations used.

What are the sources for this data? Can I download it?

The sources for each of the raw datasets used in this chart are listed below the relevant charts.

Why is the Department of Finance publishing this?

The dashboard is a collection of some of the sources of high frequency data on the Irish economy and epidemiological situation monitored by the Department during the pandemic.

As the economy recovers and society re-opens the dashboard aims to be a useful tool for tracking aspects of Ireland’s economic performance. These indicators provide a snapshot of trends and directions of travel and shouldn’t be used as substitutes for the official economic statistics published by the CSO.

Who can I contact with a question?

How did you pick the countries to appear in the charts?

The countries that appear in these charts were chosen to provide a high level overview and comparison of the experience of major trading partners and neighboring countries, particularly in the European Union. In some instances all member states are included whereas in others for clarity a smaller selection of countries including non-EU countries like the UK and US are included.

How has this data been affected by the recent HSE Cyberattack?

The recent IT attack affected the reporting of COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations, and deaths in Ireland. In particular , this is the case for mortality reporting where there remains a data gap due to the pause in the reporting of deaths. It’s envisaged that for these the back series for cases and deaths will be revised once the relevant systems become available again.
