Public data, made readable.
Public Data Unpacked turns Irish public-sector datasets into clear, interactive dashboards. Each page brings a single dataset into focus — filtering, summarising, and visualising the figures behind the headlines. Datasets currently include IPAS arrivals, deportations, appeals, and payments, alongside emergency accommodation, PPS allocations, the Live Register by nationality, and welfare recipients.
