QUESTION NO. 18

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

Noting the Reply to Question 27 at the Council meeting of 8th October 2012, to ask the Manager if the work on the production on an updated County Profile, which will in effect provide a current CODAN report, is nearing completion and if she will make a statement on the matter?

REPLY:

The Council is continuing its work on producing an update on its county profile based on statistical information from the most recent census, and more recent Pobal / Haas deprivation index and other sources.

As part of this exercise, the Council is investigating how the  information can be best presented in order that it will adequately and clearly indicate the data available.

The link below is to the 2011 Pobal HP Index and is an example of the type of information available.

Based on earlier deprivation indices for Ireland, as well as analyses from other countries, three dimensions of affluence/disadvantage are identified:
