What is the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO)
• AIRO is a spatial data portal and consultancy service focused on improving evidence informed planning in Ireland – Collects, analyses and provides evidence and
tools to support better planning and decision making
• Maps, data, policy advice, research and training
– Maximise the usage and benefit of publically funded and readily available datasets
– Highlight the benefit of proper collection, management and dissemination of datasets
• Who do we work with? – Government Departments – Semi-State bodies – Regional Authorities, Local Authorities, Local
Partnerships, Charities etc – Academics, Researchers, Public, Private sector – Funding Bodies (ESPON, SEUPB,INTERREG)
Mapping Resources: Census Toolkits
Mapping Resources: National Census Toolkits
Mapping Resources: National Census Toolkits
• SEUPB / INTERREG: Evidence Based Planning • Develop an All-Island on-line Digital Atlas Tool
– All-Island – Cross Border specific – Local Authority/Local Government District
• Census Seminars (preliminary analysis and mapping) – Demography, Economy, Housing, Transport, Health, Deprivation
• All-Island 2011 Deprivation Index & All-Island Travel to Work mapping • Data for Decisions QGIS workshops: workshops on using data to support evidence informed
planning, funding applications etc • Digital Atlas Hard Publication
– Sectoral analysis (population, education, transport, health, housing, environment etc) – Expert commentary from NI and RoI academic/policy community – Cross Border case-studies

General Health • A question on general health was introduced for the first time in Census
2011 in both RoI and NI – First Health question on RoI Census, history of health recording in NI/UK
• General health rather than present state of health – Self-perceived health (SPH) provides a well validated and widely used
measure of actual health, despite its subjective nature. – Rate their general health in one of five categories
• Very Good, Good, Fair, Bad, Very Bad
General Health • High proportion in both jurisdictions considered their health to be Very
Good or Good (90.3% in RoI v 79.5% in NI) – Very Good was considerably higher in RoI (61.7%) – Compared to 47.7% in NI
• Bad or Very Bad health was much higher in NI at 5.6% (102,100) – Much lower in RoI at 1.6% (69,700)

General Health - International
• Major difference between Health scores in RoI and UK – Northern Ireland is similar to the rest of UK – More in line with Wales – Industrial past? Scotland
• What are the reasons for this? – RoI more optimistic than others – ‘We’re grand’ – Possible higher link between self perceived health and Benefits claim in UK – Age factor? Median age in RoI 34, NI was 37, EU average 41 – More developed gathering of health data in UK than RoI (it’s a new question)

General Health • Difference between the perceived score by Gender
– In both jurisdictions • Males were more likely than females to perceive their health as Very
Good • Males were less likely to perceive their health as Bad or Very Bad
General Health • Perceived General health deteriorates
with Age – NI has higher rates in all age
groupings – The gap widens from Age 30
onwards • From 35-55 the rate in NI is 4
times higher than RoI – At Age 80, over 16% of the
population have Bad or Very Bad Health in NI

– Not comparable on an all-island scale – In general, people in higher social classes enjoyed better health – In RoI 95% of people in Social Class 1 (Professional workers) enjoyed Good or
Very Good Health – This dropped to 83% for Social Class 6 (Unskilled)

General Health • Perceived General health by Location
– In general, people in the cities of Ireland had the highest level of perceived Bad or Very Bad health
– Highest levels in NI are in Belfast (8.2%), Strabane (7.2%) and Derry City (6.9%)
– Lowest levels are in North Down (4.2%) and Ballymena (4.2%)

General Health • Perceived General health by Location
– In general, people in the cities of Ireland had the lowest level of perceived Bad or Very Bad health
– Although rates are lower in RoI the highest rates of Bad health are still in cities
– Highest levels in RoI are in Limerick City (2.7%), Cork City (2.2%) and Dublin City (2.1%)
– Lowest levels are in Cork County(1.1%), Fingal (1.1%), Meath (1.1%) and DLR (1.2%)
• Demographics and social class
– Suburbs of main cities in RoI had the best overall health with 92% having Good or Very Good health
– Rural areas in RoI were the next healthiest with 90% of population with Good or Very Good health

Kavanagh-Foley Index of Well-Being (KFIW)
• Kavanagh-Foley Index of Wellbeing (KFIW) • Simple Calculation from Census 2011 • =(% VGH*1)+(%GH*2)+(%FH*3)+(%BH*4)+(%VBH*5) • Operational across scales
– County, Health Area, ED, SA • Requires further age-standardisation • Provides a useful ‘average’ measure of well-being/health
Kavanagh-Foley Index of Wellbeing (KFIW)
Unpaid Carers • Comparable census question in 2011
– Some slight differences on census form definition • 401,092 people provided unpaid care across the island. This equates to
6.8% of total population • Major difference between NI and RoI
– NI (11.8%) provides three times the proportion found in RoI (4.2%) – Reasons for this? 1. Older age profile in NI 2. Higher prevalence of self
perceived bad health and 3. Difference in question on census form
Unpaid Carers - Increasing level of Caring • Change in unpaid carers between 2001-2011
– Much higher rate of increase in RoI (23%) compared with NI (16%) – The highest growth rates were in the 65+ age group
• The total population in this age group increased by 21% since 2001 • Increase in unpaid care increased by approximately 50%
Unpaid Carers - Increasing level of Caring • Change in unpaid carers between 2001-2011
– Much higher rate of increase in RoI (23%) compared with NI (16%) – The highest growth rates were in the 65+ age group
• The total population in this age group increased by 21% since 2001 • Increase in unpaid care increased by approximately 50% • Major demographic changes coming down the road.....
Unpaid Carers – Age of Carers • Levels of unpaid carer increased with
age in both jurisdictions – Highest rates were in the 50-54 Age
category – 23% of population were undertaking
Unpaid Care in NI, less than 10% in RoI
• Also very clear gender in-balance with females far more likely to provide unpaid care in both jurisdictions
• Approximately half of carers in both NI and RoI were aged 40-59
– 52% in RoI – 47% in NI
Unpaid Carers – Hours of Caring • Hours of Unpaid Care
– 327 million hours of unpaid care in RoI in 2011
– €?
• Low level: 0-19 hours – 57% of carers in NI – 54% of carers in RoI
• Substantial: 20-49 hours – 17% of carers in NI – 23% of carers in RoI
• High intensity: 50+ hours – 26% of carers in NI – 23% of carers in RoI
Unpaid Carers – Geographical Spread • Proportionally, much more carers in rural
areas • Highest percentage of carers are in NI
– 6 Districts with >12.5% of population providing unpaid care
• Ards (13.6), Castereagh (13.5), North Down (13.1), Carrickfergus (12.7), Newtownabbey (12.6) and Larne (12.5)
• Belfast (12.1) and Derry (11.3) with lower rates
• In RoI rates are much lower – Much higher in rural areas
• Mayo (5.1), Sligo (5), Kerry (4.9), Roscommon (4.8) and Limerick City (4.8)
– Per-urban/Urban areas with much lower rates
• Kildare and Fingal ( 3.4), Meath (3.5), South Dublin (3.7)
• Dublin City (4)
Provision of Unpaid Care: 0-19
Provision of Unpaid Care: 20-49

Disability • Not possible to compare Disability on an All-Island basis
– Different questions and different listing of disability types – Statistics team at CSO not comfortable with merging data on All-Island basis
• Total disabilities in RoI = 595,335 or 13% of the population • Total disabilities in NI = 374,646 or 21% of the population
Disability • Highest disability rates were in all urban cities
– Limerick City was highest (18%) – Cork, Waterford and Dublin City all with rates >
15% – Only Galway City was well below national average
at 11.9% • Very much an age link to high disability rates
– Fingal , Meath and Kildare all have the lowest rates – Low rates for those in 20’s – high increase from this
point – Interesting trend in young male disability –
considerably higher than female
Disability by Type
• Total of 595,335 people (13% of population) with one or more disability – This accounted for a total of 1.6 million disabilities or difficulties – Most common disabilities were ‘Other disability including chronic illness’ and
‘Limits one or more basic physical activity’
