My Department publishes a wide range of planning statistics, including data on the planning applications and decisions made by planning authorities. The most recent statistics are broken down by planning authority and are available on my Department’s website at: www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/PlanningStatistics/FileDownLoad,41081,en.pdf .
While this data does not include a breakdown of decisions by category, a breakdown of planning permissions granted by functional category e.g. residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial buildings, is provided by the CSO on a quarterly basis. The most recent data can be found at the following weblink:
