The United Nations (UN) provide a lot of data for download and use.

The data is available here https://data.un.org/

These datasets cover a wide range of socio-economic and environmental topics.

I have created a dashboard to explore some of these, as listed below.

The dashboard is available at https://analytics.richardfitzsimons.ie/undata/

0	GDP in current prices (millions of US dollars)
1	GDP per capita (US dollars)
2	GDP in constant 2015 prices (millions of US dollars)
3	GDP real rates of growth (percent)
4	Population annual rate of increase (percent)
5	Total fertility rate (children per women)
6	Infant mortality for both sexes (per 1,000 live births)
7	Maternal mortality ratio (deaths per 100,000 population)
8	Life expectancy at birth for both sexes (years)
9	Life expectancy at birth for males (years)
10	Life expectancy at birth for females (years)
11	Population mid-year estimates (millions)
12	Population mid-year estimates for males (millions)
13	Population mid-year estimates for females (millions)
14	Sex ratio (males per 100 females)
15	Population aged 0 to 14 years old (percentage)
16	Population aged 60+ years old (percentage)
17	Population density
18	Surface area (thousand km2)
19	Emissions (thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide)
20	Emissions per capita (metric tons of carbon dioxide)

Crime statistics are recorded by the Gardai and are reported to one of the 566 Gardai stations country-wide.

The categories of crimes are

• Theft and related offences
• Burglary and related offences
• Public order and other social code offences
• Damage to property and to the environment
• Fraud, deception and related offences
• Controlled drug offences
• Attempts/threats to murder, assaults, harassments and related offences
• Dangerous or negligent acts
• Robbery, extortion and hijacking offences
• Offences against government, justice procedures and organisation of crime
• Weapons and Explosives Offences
• Kidnapping and related offences

Using the interactive dashboard, you can filter by Type of Offence, Year, Division and Station. Getting the data for the stations was difficult as there were many different spellings of station names. If you notice any issues, please let me know in the comments.

All statistics are Under Reservation and can be found at https://www.cso.ie/en/statistics/crimeandjustice/recordedcrime-statisticsunderreservation/

Hello all. I have updated the PPR data maps to the latest data.

I have also modified the code that now you can search for an Eircode routing key as well as a full Eircode.

In other words, you can type in D01 and search as well as D01A1B3.

I could see that many people were interested in searching for a general area rather than a specific Eircode.

Below you can find the Residential Property Price Register displayed in 2 different ways.

• Each individual sale for 2 years mapped across the country, coloured by price
• Mapped using the median price for each county

Clicking on each of the images below will load the actual interactive map for each.

Because the data is quite large the maps take a while to load.

Be patient!

Irish people love property.

And we love to browse property and see what properties sold for in different areas. Call us nosy or just interest in our fellow citizens.

You can click on the following link and using an eircode browse sold properties in the area of that eircode. For instance, below you can see images of properties around the Dail (D02 XR20).

You need an eircode. I have created the following website to take an input of a postcode (all postcodes in Ireland older than a few years should work). You can also look up eircodes at the following link.

https://finder.eircode.ie/#/

The website works on normal laptops and computers and also has a mobile interface. It does work better on a bigger screen like a laptop though.

The map will centre on the eircode you entered and will search the register for properties in that area. You will also see the lowest, median and highest prices for that area.

There will be charts showing the history of the median and mean prices for the period and the number of properties sold for that window.

So this is the kind of chart that we have all become familiar with over the past few weeks. The relaxation of lock-down rules over December and Christmas led to a huge spike in cases. The ‘3rd wave’ far surpassed the ‘1st’ and ‘2nd’ waves. Sadly, the massive spike in cases led to a massive spike in deaths too, about 10 to 14 days later as we can see below.

Commiserations to all those who have lost loved ones. It has been a very difficult period, both losing loved ones and being unable to meet or hug your loved ones, families, parents.

However, 2021 has also seen the introduction of vaccines. Some countries like Israel have been flying along and have nearly half their population vaccinated. They may even have achieved that milestone by the time you read this.

The numbers on the y-axis (on the left hand side) represent percentage of the population that have been vaccinated.

If we remove Israel, we can see how other countries including ourselves have been doing.

The United Kingdom and the United States have been doing pretty well. C. 10% and 6% of their populations have been vaccinated. Ireland, after a slow start is getting there, at about 2.5% of its population. But daily vaccination numbers will have to be massively ramped up, even to get our population vaccinated this year.

Below, you can see what the daily numbers for Ireland are like.

As always, if you click on the pictures they will bring you to a dashboard which is updated at least daily.
