Government Departments and State Agencies

Central Statistics Office

  • Optimising the sampling strategies for CSO Household Surveys. Based on a detailed simulation study (Haase and Pratschke, 2012), the CSO includes the Pobal HP Deprivation Index as a central element in the sample design of all future CSO household surveys.

Revenue Commissioners

  • Since the introduction of the Local Property Tax in 2013, Revenue is using a variety of data sources to provide valuation guidance to property owners to assist them to accurately assess the values of their homes.

Details of the methodology used in the model and the resulting guidance are available at www.revenue.ie.

Family Support Agency

  • The Family Support Agency core funds 107 Family Resource Centres in local communities around Ireland, as part of the Family and Community Services Resource Centre (FRC) Programme.

Irish University Association

  • The Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) is a college and university admissions scheme which offers places on reduced points and extra college support to school leavers from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. HEAR has been set up by a number of colleges and universities as evidence shows that socio-economic disadvantage can have a negative effect on how well a student does at school and whether they go on to college. The index scores of the Pobal HP Deprivation Index constitute one of the six criteria which are applied to assess whether a student is eligible to benefit from HEAR.

Department of the Environment – RAPID

  • The RAPID  (Revitalising Areas by Planning, Investment and Development) Programme is a Government initiative, which targets 51 of the most disadvantaged areas in the country. The Programme aims to ensure that priority attention is given to the 51 designated areas by focusing State resources available under the National Development Plan. The Programme also requires the Government Departments and State Agencies to bring about better co-ordination and closer integration in the delivery of services. The designation of the RAPID areas is based on the Pobal HP Deprivation Index.

National Transport Authority

  • The National Transport Authority (NTA) has a statutory responsibility to ensure that it obtains maximum social benefit from the funding provided. To this end, NTA has established a framework for the evaluation of social benefits, to be used where resources need to be prioritised. The purpose of this framework is to give NTA a basis upon which it can approve or initiate changes to socially necessary services, by providing the relevant information to support decision making in marginal or doubtful cases. The Pobal HP Deprivation Index is an important ingredient in this process.

Regional Assemblies – Gateway Development Index

  • The Gateway Development Index (GDI) reports on the development of the nine National Spatial Strategy (NSS) Gateways measuring the extent to which these gateways are progressing as drivers of regional economic development. The Report establishes a baseline analysis of the performance of the Gateways across a wide range of indicators which include the Pobal HP Deprivation Index.

Local Authorities

Local Authorities use the Pobal HP Deprivation Index to:

  • Identify the small areas of affluence and deprivation within their respective counties.
  • Promote an appreciation of the multi-factorial nature of disadvantage among the public and the agencies charged with addressing these issues.
  • Inform policies and resource allocations of the agencies charged with addressing these issues.
  • Use a shared theoretical and analytical base to promote inter-agency collaboration and co-operation in addressing the issues of social disadvantage.
  • Facilitate agencies identify co-related measures of deprivation and well-being from their own datasets.

School of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, University College Dublin

  • This research is examining transport and land-use integration. More specifically, it is exploring the social equity of transport planning within the context of a post-boom and car-dominant society, using Dublin as a case-study. The project will explore equity using a number of variables, of which disadvantage is one. Groups which are typically classified as disadvantaged often have to rely more heavily on public transportation for travel, than the rest of the general population. In this regards, the Pobal HP Deprivation Index is proposed to be used to identify areas, at the small geographic unit area, in Dublin that are experiencing various levels of disadvantage, and then to assess the quality of their transportation options (particularly by foot, bicycle and public transport). It is proposed that the Pobal HP Deprivation Index will form part of a wider ‘Transport Equity’ Index.
