Abstract:
For official statistics to be of value they must be trusted. Achieving and maintaining trust requires that statistics are produced in an objective, transparent and independent manner. In many countries codes of practice for official statistics have been developed to enshrine those principles and protect trust. While compilers of European statistics are expected to comply with the European Statistics Code of Practice, no comparable standard has existed in Ireland for other national official statistics. The introduction of a code of practice for compilers of official statistics in the Irish Statistical System addresses this gap.
