Ireland's Data Update — October 2026
New statistics published this month, and what they tell us.
Releases published 1–31 October 2026. The periods measured vary.
A record can still fall short of a target. A national rise can hide local declines. Those are two of the stories in the figures published about Ireland in October. Renewable energy reached a record 17.3% of final energy use in 2025, yet was 10.3 percentage points below that year's milestone. New home completions rose 10.4% across the country in the third quarter of 2026, but fell in the Mid-West and Border regions. And a new CSO study of 2022 income records found a striking divide: 62.2% of children in households with no working parent were below its low-income threshold, compared with 3.7% in households with two working parents. These releases cover different periods, and the child-income measure is not the official poverty rate or a picture of 2026. But each shows why it is worth looking beyond a headline figure. This edition explores what they tell us, alongside October's releases on prices, public transport, farm incomes and more.

A closer look at the main releases
Prices
September inflation reached 4.1%, with fuel prices adding to the rise
The consumer price index was 4.1% higher in September 2026 than a year earlier, up from 3.7% in the year to August. The rate was also 4.1% in January 2024, and September is the highest reading since then.
Central Statistics Office8 October 2026September 2026
Leaving out energy and unprocessed food, the rate was 3.1%. The sharpest divisional increases were housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels at 9.5%, education at 8.9%, and transport at 7.5%. The harmonised index in the same release rose 3.8%. That is a different measure from the consumer price index, so it is not drawn on the same chart.
Home heating oil was 58.6% higher than a year earlier. Diesel rose 22% and petrol 14%. Those three items contributed 0.45, 0.34 and 0.26 percentage points toward the 4.1% rate. A contribution is a weight in the index, not the change in a particular household's bill. Prices were collected from 7 to 15 September.
The line starts in January 2024, when the annual rate was also 4.1%, and follows the lower readings of late 2024 and the climb through 2026. It stops at September. The October rate was published on 11 November and belongs to next month's edition.
How has the annual consumer-price rate moved since January 2024?

Data notes & limitations
Annual percentage change in the consumer price index, all items. This is not the harmonised index. The series stops at September 2026. The October rate, published on 11 November, is outside this edition. May to September match the rates stated in the 8 October release. Earlier months are the rates held for those months in the fact store.
How much did heating oil, diesel and petrol add to the September inflation rate?
Ireland·September 2026·percentage points

Data notes & limitations
Percentage-point contributions to the 4.1% consumer-price rate. They are not the change in a household bill. Prices were collected from 7 to 15 September.
The second chart answers a different question: how much three fuels added to the September rate, rather than how the annual rate has moved.
Energy
Renewables set a record, but missed the 2025 milestone by 10.3 points
In 2025, renewable sources supplied 17.3% of Ireland's gross final energy consumption, up from 16.1% in 2024. SEAI says that is the highest share yet, and 10.3 percentage points below the 27.6% milestone for 2025.
Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland21 October 20262025
This renewable share covers electricity, heat and transport together. It is not the share of electricity, and it is not the 16.0% of primary energy that was renewable. Energy-related emissions were 29.8 million tonnes, 3.6% lower than in 2024, and the lowest annual total in the series SEAI describes. The emissions total leaves out international aviation and shipping.
Electricity demand was 34.1 TWh, and data centres used 7.7 TWh of it, 22.5%. SEAI says data centres account for 78% of the net increase in electricity demand since 2015, the first year with that CSO series. Demand outside data centres is the remainder, 26.4 TWh. That split shows where electricity went. It does not show that data centres caused the missed renewable-energy milestone. Electricity demand and the all-energy target are different accounts.
How did Ireland's renewable energy share compare with the 2025 milestone?
Ireland·2024–2025 actual; 2025 milestone·%
16.1% (2024)
Data notes & limitations
RES-Overall is the renewable share of gross final energy consumption, covering electricity, heating and transport. The 27.6% bar is the 2025 milestone, not an achieved result; the 2025 actual was 10.3 percentage points lower. This is not the share of electricity or of primary energy.
How much of 2025 electricity demand came from data centres?
Ireland·2025·TWh
7.7 TWh (2025)
Data notes & limitations
Data-centre demand is the CSO figure quoted by SEAI, 7.7 TWh. All other demand is 34.1 TWh minus 7.7 TWh. The split does not show that data centres caused the gap to the renewable-energy milestone.
The 27.6% bar is a 2025 milestone, not an achieved result. The second chart shows electricity demand, a different measure.
Income
Children's low-income exposure in 2022: 62.2% with no working parent, 3.7% with two
A new CSO analysis says 16.1% of children under 18, living with one or both parents, were in households below €16,271 of equivalised net administrative income in 2022.
Central Statistics Office19 October 20262022
The threshold is 60% of the median on this administrative source. The release is a Frontier series. It links Census 2022 to income records, and the CSO says some income is missing, including undeclared earnings, transfers between households and some foreign pensions. It is not the official at-risk-of-poverty rate, and it is not a picture of 2026.
Employment in the household dominates the result. Where no parent was in work, 62.2% of children were under the threshold. With one working parent the share was 24.3%, and with two it was 3.7%. The county range ran from 12.2% in Dublin to 28.2% in Donegal. Those gaps describe this income definition in 2022. They do not, on their own, say why a place is higher or lower.

It is not the official at-risk-of-poverty measure, and it is not a 2026 poverty rate. Some income is missing from the administrative sources.
Administrative income for 2022. Not the Survey on Income and Living Conditions poverty measure.
Transport
Eight in ten households were near a bus stop — fewer near a frequent one
Eight in ten households, 80%, were within 2 km of a bus stop. The share within 2 km of a high-frequency bus stop was 68%.
Central Statistics Office28 October 20262026
Half of households were within 0.5 km of some public transport stop, counting bus, rail and Luas. High frequency means a stop served more than ten times between 6am and 8pm on a midweek day. One in four households was more than 4 km from the nearest high-frequency bus stop.
The people are located from Census 2022 and the stops from 2025 and 2026, so the release is a combined geography rather than a single day's network. Distance is along the road to the stop. It is not the time to a workplace, a school or a hospital, and a nearby stop can still be a poor service. Counties in the Border, Midlands and West generally have the longer distances. The chart stays with the national bus comparison, which is the new distinction the release adds.
How many households were close to a bus stop, and to a frequent one?

Housing
Home completions rose 10.4%, but fell in the Mid-West and Border
There were 10,154 completions from July to September 2026, 10.4% more than 9,197 a year earlier. Scheme houses were 5,163, apartments 3,464 and single houses 1,527.
Central Statistics Office29 October 2026Third quarter 2026
The count is ESB connections after the CSO removes reconnections, unfinished homes and buildings that are not dwellings. It is not a count of homes started, and it is not a measure of how many homes are needed. In the first nine months there were 26,833 completions, 10.6% more than the same months of 2025.
The national increase hides a split. The West was up 33% on the third quarter of 2025, the South-East 24% and the South-West 22%. The Mid-West fell 8% and the Border fell 6%. A percentage change depends on the starting level, so a large rise can still be a modest number of homes. The chart compares these five regions with the national figure; completions rose in the other three regions too.
How did new-home completions change nationally and in selected regions compared with Q3 2025?

Data notes & limitations

This chart shows the national figure and five selected regions explicitly highlighted in the CSO release; the other three regions also recorded increases. Regional rates are rounded to whole percentages as published. Completed dwellings are based on adjusted ESB connections and are not commencements.
Completed dwellings, not commencements. The chart highlights five regions and Ireland, not a complete ranking of all eight regions.
Agriculture
Average farm income rose 51% in 2025 — with big gaps by farm type
Average family farm income was €54,606 in 2025, up 51% on 2024, in the Teagasc National Farm Survey. Dairy farms averaged €154,988. Cattle-rearing farms averaged €23,291.
Teagasc5 October 20262025
The survey is 807 farms, standing in for about 88,075. Family farm income is the return to family labour, management and owned capital. It is not a wage, and it is not the CSO's entrepreneurial income for the whole agricultural sector. A farm with a high business income can still have a modest income per person once unpaid family work is considered. The survey does not make that conversion.
Tillage averaged €55,419, cattle other €34,247 and sheep €30,503. Dairy was up 43% on 2024. The chart shows the 2025 averages by system and leaves the all-farm average in the text, because that average sits across systems of very different size. The 51% rise is real on this measure. It is an average of a sample, not the experience of every farm.

Other noteworthy updates
Health
Nearly 693,000 awaited a first outpatient appointment in September
At the end of September, 114,722 people were waiting for inpatient or day-case treatment, 43,285 for a gastrointestinal endoscopy, and 692,524 for a first outpatient consultation. These are three lists. They are not added together here, because a person can appear on more than one and the lists answer different questions. The Department of Health, publishing the NTPF figures on 9 October, said the inpatient and day-case list has fallen since the end of July. People with an appointment already booked, people on a planned-procedure list and people whose place is suspended sit outside these three counts. A fall in one list is not a fall in the time a particular patient has waited.
Housing
House prices rose 5.1% nationally in August — faster outside Dublin
National residential prices rose 5.1% in the year to August 2026, after 5.4% in the year to July. Dublin rose 3.9% and prices outside Dublin rose 6.2%. The latest three months are provisional, because stamp-duty filings arrive late, so August can still be revised when later returns come in. This monthly index is not Eurostat's quarterly house-price index, which covers an earlier quarter and a wider set of purchases, and the two should not be read as one series. The chart is only the Dublin and outside-Dublin rates for August. The national rate is the text, not a third bar mixed in with its parts.
How did Dublin and the rest of Ireland differ in the year to August 2026?
Ireland·August 2026·%
3.9% (August 2026)
Data notes & limitations
Annual percentage change. The national rate, 5.1%, is not plotted with these two parts. The latest three months are provisional because stamp-duty returns arrive late. This is not Eurostat's quarterly house-price index.
Government
Ireland's government surplus fell from €23.4bn to €10.7bn
The general government balance was €10.7 billion in 2025, compared with €23.4 billion in 2024. As a share of GDP that is 1.8%, after 4.2% in 2024. The chart puts those two years next to 2020–2023, using the million-euro figures from the 20 October release, so the 2024 surplus is visible as the outlier rather than as a normal baseline. This balance is the European national-accounts measure. It is not the cash recorded in the exchequer account, and a smaller surplus is not, by itself, a statement about the budget, about tax, or about public services. Years before 2020 are left off the chart.
How has the general government balance changed since 2020?
Ireland·2020–2025·EUR billion
€10.7 billion (2025)
Data notes & limitations
Surplus is positive and deficit is negative. Figures are the 20 October 2026 million-euro observations divided by 1,000. The release presents 2025 as €10.7 billion and 2024 as €23.4 billion. This is not the exchequer cash balance.
Crime
Recorded fraud and drug offences rose while sexual offences fell
In the year to the second quarter of 2026, compared with the year to the second quarter of 2025, recorded sexual offences were down 19% and homicide and related offences were down 9%. Controlled drugs offences were up 8%, fraud, deception and related offences were up 9%, and dangerous or negligent acts were up 11%. These are offences recorded by An Garda Síochána, not a count of all crime. Fraud in particular moves when recording practice changes, so the 9% is not clean evidence that fraud itself rose by that much. The release highlights these groups. It is not a ranking of every offence group, so there is no chart.
Health
Dental costs burdened deprived households far more often
Among households where someone had a dental examination or treatment in the previous year, 35.2% of those experiencing enforced deprivation said the cost was a heavy burden. The share was 6.1% for households that were not deprived. The question is asked only of households that incurred the cost. It does not say how many people skipped care because of the price, and it does not show whether the gap has widened over time. The figures are for 2025, from the Survey on Income and Living Conditions health and lifestyle release published on 13 October. Medical costs are a separate question in the same release.
Education
Four in ten students who didn't progress were enrolled again in 2024
Of new full-time undergraduates who started in 2022/23 and did not progress, 40% were enrolled in higher or further education in 2024. That 40% splits into 33% who were also in substantial employment and 7% who were in education only. A further 49% were in substantial employment and had not returned to education. Their median weekly earnings were €430. The CSO's definition excludes students who transferred to another institution, so this is not a count of everyone who changed college. A return within a year is not the same thing as finishing a qualification, and the figures do not label the other students as permanent dropouts.
In brief
Electric cars were 28% of new private cars licensed from January to September 2026, compared with 19% a year earlier.
Median weekly earnings in 2025 were €848 for Dublin residents and €680 in the Border region. That compares places of residence, not a pay premium caused by living there.
The average written premium for private motor insurance was €655 in 2025, up 4% on 2024, in the Central Bank's annual report of the market.
Ireland met EU air-quality limits in 2025, the EPA said. An estimate it cites, of about 1,500 premature deaths a year, is not a new count of registered deaths.
Overseas visitor numbers in September were 2% lower than in September 2025, while the amount visitors spent was 4% higher.
On 2 October, Met Éireann said September 2026 was provisionally the second-warmest September in its national temperature record, behind only one earlier September.
The Central Statistics Office forest accounts, published in October, record 27,400 hectares of forest and woodland as storm-damaged in 2025.
An early estimate says the volume of GDP rose 5.5% in the third quarter. It is a Frontier series and will be revised.
RSA research says 189 drivers aged 17 to 25 were in 178 fatal collisions from 2021 to 2025, 19% of the drivers involved. This is not a 2026 count.
Meat consumption per person rose from 98 kg to 102 kg in 2025. That is consumption, not the volume of meat supplied.
