What information do you have on the NUTS classification ?
Nuts is an acronym for the EU Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics. This classification was legally established by EU regulation No 1059/2003 on 29 May 2003. In Ireland it is classified hierarchically as Level 1 - Ireland, Level 2 - Regions and Level 3 - Regional Authorities.
Below these levels the EU has defined two Local Administrative Units or LAU's. In Ireland LAU Level 1 (formerly NUTS Level 4) consists of 34 Administrative Counties and LAU Level 2 (formerly NUTS Level 5) of Electoral Divisions.
Further information on NUTS and LAU's may be obtained here from Eurostat
