Change pills and trend lines show direction only — teal for a rise, red for a fall — and are not a view on whether a move helps or hurts you. Figures are reproduced from the Central Statistics Office without adjustment; nothing here is estimated, smoothed or interpolated. Release schedules differ, so the periods in the last column are not all the same: the freshest series here runs to Aug 2026 and the slowest to 2026. Always check the official release before relying on a figure.

How to read this page

One table, one source, no estimates

Every figure below is reproduced exactly as the Central Statistics Office published it. Money Snap adds no forecasts, no seasonal adjustment of its own and no gap filling.

Irish GDP is not the domestic economy

Ireland hosts a large multinational sector whose accounting flows through the national accounts, so headline GDP overstates what is happening to people living here. The CSO publishes modified domestic demand precisely to strip that out, and it is in the overview above for that reason. Read the two together rather than either alone.

Each series is dated on its own

The CSO releases on different schedules, and unlike some agencies it publishes a genuine release timestamp for each table. Prices and the monthly unemployment estimate land within weeks; the national accounts and the labour force survey follow the quarter; the population estimate is annual. The period column shows what each figure refers to.

Colour means direction, not judgement

Teal marks a rise on the previous published reading and red marks a fall. Whether that is welcome depends entirely on your position — higher property price growth helps an owner and hurts a first-time buyer — so the colour never implies good or bad.

Good to know

Common questions

Every series is pulled straight from the Central Statistics Office PxStat service, the CSO’s own machine-readable interface. Each row records the CSO table it came from and links back to it, so any figure can be checked at source in one click.

Important Disclaimer

For educational and informational purposes only. This page reproduces economic statistics published by the Central Statistics Office. Figures are presented as published, with no adjustment, forecast or estimate added by Money Snap.

No warranty of accuracy. While Money Snap takes reasonable care to reproduce official figures faithfully, this page is provided "as is" without any express or implied warranty as to accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose. Statistics are revised: the CSO routinely restates earlier periods, and an indicator shown here may since have been revised or rebased. Always verify against the official release before relying on a figure.

Not financial advice. Economic statistics describe what has already happened in the wider economy. They say nothing about any individual’s circumstances, and nothing on this page constitutes financial, tax or legal advice, nor does use of this page create an advisory relationship. Direction indicators describe movement in a published number and are not a recommendation. For decisions, obtain advice from a firm regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Money Snap accepts no liability for any loss, damage, cost, or expense — direct or indirect — arising from reliance on this page or the information it produces. Use of this page is subject to our Terms of Use.

Official data sources

Every figure above is dated individually by its CSO reference period and carries the CSO’s own release date for that table. Those dates differ by series, so no single verification date applies to the whole page.
