Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2012
92. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Taoiseach the input-output models that are used in the calculation of the national accounts for the years these are available in tabular form; and if he will set these tables out. [36120/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraSupply and Use tables are compiled annually for Ireland, in line with EU regulations (Regulation (EC) No. 2223/96), which require their publication within a 3-year time lag. The tables, in their current format, have been published for the years 2000 to 2008 (2003 and 2004 on the web-only). Input-output tables are published at five-yearly intervals, also in line with EU regulations (Regulation (EC) No. 2223/96), most recently for the year 2005. Input-output tables for the year 2000 are also available. The compilation of the tables is coordinated with the publication of the National Accounts and the main National Accounts aggregates in the Supply and Use tables correspond with those in the latest National Accounts publication available at the time of the release of the Supply and Use tables.
The latest Supply and Use publication in respect of 2008 is available in the Dáil Library. The results can also be viewed on the CSO website.
