Enhancing Ireland's Statistical System for National Development
Ireland's National Statistics Board (NSB) envisions a world-class statistical system that requires more use of secondary sources, Big Data, and unique identifiers to improve policy, administration, and services. Realizing this vision involves strategic leadership, resources, addressing key challenges like budget expansion and new data privacy laws, and taking necessary actions like data sharing and governance legislation. Success will deliver efficient use of data, greater statistical granularity, consistency, clarity on data usage, enhanced administrative efficiency, and improved public services.
