10. Dissemination http://www.cso.ie/en/statistics/environment/ - 4 releases from environmental accounts - 5 releases based on administrative data - 1 household environment module release - Environment indicators report - Sustainable Development indicators report www.cso.ie 10

11. Location of Residential Gas Meters www.cso.ie 11

12. Planned New Releases Business energy use survey Fishery statistics Fuel sales (e.g. filling stations) Waste statistics 2nd wave environmental accounts modules www.cso.ie 12

13. Potential Releases Non-domestic water meters Electricity meters Forestry statistics Agri-environment indicators Climate change indicators (UNECE) Green procurement www.cso.ie 13

14. Administrative Microdata Environment-related administrative data (examples) Domestic water meter data (Irish Water) Gas meter data (Gas Networks Ireland) Building Energy Ratings (SEAI) Fuel distribution movements (Revenue) National Forest Inventory (Forest Service) Land Parcel Information System (D/Agriculture) Odometer readings (Road Safety Authority + D/Transport) Septic tank register (LGMA) www.cso.ie 14

15. Integrating Microdata Linking microdata files to add value e.g. linking odometer readings with vehicle characteristics with NACE sector of vehicle owners: Eircodes Geodirectory X/Y and Building ID Enterprise numbers (VAT and CRO numbers ) Spatially e.g. data at county level Thematic (NACE, CEPA/CReMA, Household) www.cso.ie 15

16. Aichi Biodiversity target 2 By 2020, at the latest, biodiversity values are being incorporated into national accounting Environment statistics are very broad ranging Need to understand trends in an integrated way Current and future impacts on terrestrial and marine ecosystems, human health, fuel poverty, air and water quality, social life and living conditions www.cso.ie 16

17. Statistical Collaboration Memoranda of Understanding http://www.cso.ie/en/aboutus/descriptionsandfunctions/memorandu msofunderstanding/ Liaison groups Environmental Protection Authority Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland Department of Agriculture (Forest Statistics) Department of Housing (Water Statistics) www.cso.ie 17

18. Statistical Collaboration Data collection needs to be informed by input from policy bodies such as: Department of Communications, Climate Change and the Environment; EPA; SEAI; Marine Institute; NPWS; and NESC Is there a need for an overall high-level environment statistics liaison group comprising the main data owners to ensure efficiency in data collection through more formal coordination www.cso.ie 18
