The Forests and Woodlands 2012-2022 Frontier Series release was published on 20 March 2024, however, Coillte has since notified the CSO that the data it provided on the area of forests and woodlands for 2012 and 2015 has been revised. As a result of this, the CSO will update this publication based on the new input data, which will change the Extent and Tree Cover Density data for those years. We will notify users when these revisions have been applied.
This publication is categorised as a CSO Frontier Series Output. Particular care must be taken when interpreting the statistics in this release as it may use new methods which are under development and/or data sources which may be incomplete, for example new administrative data sources.
