What moved in Irish public data

25 movements across 16 datasets, published between 2024 and August 2026. 24 moved up, 1 down.

3 areas account for 6 of them: Monaghan 2 each, Roscommon 2 each, Sligo 2 each.

Every dataset gets its turn before any dataset gets a second slot, so this is a rotation, not a league table. Percentages from different datasets measure different things and are not comparable with each other. Where these figures come from.

Guide

Then vs now
The CSO's national house price index (base year 2005 = 100) averaged about 80 in 2015, ten years ago. Averaged across 2025, it's about 158 — nearly double, though this is a nominal index figure, never adjusted for inflation. Is the recovery since the 2013 low still accelerating everywhere, or slowing in some regions? Worth checking the CSO regional breakdown, not just the national number, before deciding.
2015: 80.1 · 2025: 157.9
Past year fixed by rule: exactly 10 years earlier
Caveat: No caveat in the dataset applies to the national figure — RPPI's only two listed caveats are region-boundary notes (CSO's South-East region excludes Tipperary; its Mid-West region includes it instead), relevant only to the regional breakdown. RPPI is a price index, not a money amount, and is never CPI-deflated. The index is set to 100 in its base year, 2005.
Worth a detour
The house price index shows a whole CSO region's speed, not what a home in your county actually costs. Typical sale price, right next door, gives the actual figure. Worth a detour if you want the number, not just how fast it's moving.
Caveat: No caveat in the dataset applies to the region-level figure beyond a boundary note: CSO's South-East region excludes Tipperary; its Mid-West region includes it instead. Check which region your county falls under before comparing to a neighbour.
