Register of Public Sector Bodies 2021 - Final

Introduction

The Register of Public Sector Bodies in Ireland 2021 – Final, provides the basis for the preparation of Government Finance Statistics (GFS) and Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP) reporting for Ireland. The Register lists all the organisations in the State which are classified as “general government” bodies for the purposes of national and government accounts. It also lists organisations which, while under public control, are not part of the general government sector. The distinction between the general government and public sectors is explained in the next chapter.

The Register has been updated since it was last published in April 2022 using results from the survey of Local Government and other classification reviews. See the Background Notes for an outline of the methodology for statistical classification decisions.

Previous releases of the Register can be seen on the CSO Website.

In the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010), general government is one of five mutually exclusive institutional sectors within the domestic economy. The five sectors are:

(a) non-financial corporations (S.11);
(b) financial corporations (S.12);
(c) general government (S.13);
(d) households (S.14);
(e) non-profit institutions serving households (S.15).

The Register of Public Sector Bodies in Ireland covers all general government (S.13) and all public corporations in the non-financial (S.11) and financial (S.12) sectors – see the sectors coloured orange in figure 1.1 below.
