    Good afternoon, this is not an EPA dataset but rather data that was compiled as part of an EPA-funded research project. Based on my understanding of the remit of data.gov.ie, it is not meant to be a repository for research data. The dataset in question was initially compiled as part of a research project that ran from 2008 to 2011 and there have been further iterations of this data in the meantime, namely the CORINE Landcover Dataset in 2018, which was published on data.gov.ie (Corine Landcover 2018 - Dataset - data.gov.ie) and more recently the National Landcover Map. Data for the latter is provided by Táilte Éireann with Irish government departments and public sector bodies having access to data under the terms of the National Mapping Agreement.

    If the data from the research project that was previously hosted on SAFER is required, this can either be requested from the EPA, or we would also be happy to put the requester in touch with the researcher who originally compiled it.

    Let me know if you need anything further information.
