Description: This feature layer represents the proportion of dwellings without basic services (no central heating, no piped water supply or no sewerage facilities). The layer has been developed to represent SDG 1.4.1 'Proportion of Population Living in Households with Access to Basic Services' for Ireland. Census 2016 data produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and NUTS 3 boundary data produced by Tailte Éireann were used to create this feature layer.In 2015 UN countries adopted a set of 17 goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to help achieve the goals set out in the agenda by 2030. Governments are committed to establishing national frameworks for the achievement of the 17 Goals and to review progress using accessible quality data. With these goals in mind the CSO and Tailte Éireann are working together to link geography and statistics to produce indicators that help communicate and monitor Ireland’s performance in relation to achieving the 17 sustainable development goals.The indicator displayed supports the efforts to achieve goal number 1 which aims to end poverty in all its forms everywhere.
