What we do not hold here
Population, housing, crime, income and other census-style figures: we hold none for Ireland here, so nothing above is a rate per person.
Eircode is not open data, so a full Eircode is reduced to its three-character routing key and charities are placed by town or, failing that, county centre.
About 4 in 10 charities are placed only to the middle of their county because the register gives no town we can place; the page says so on each list.
Dail constituencies are not matched to an address; councils are matched by county.
