PublicPolicy.ie data policy
Who we are
PublicPolicy.ie is an online platform for informing academic and contemporary debates about public policy in Ireland. Established in 2012 with support from Atlantic Philanthropies, it was incorporated into the Geary Institute for Public Policy in 2019.
The aim of the Public Policy website is to provide independent evidence to inform economic, social and environmental policies by communicating policy-related research findings and information in an accessible way to policymakers, non-specialist academics and members of the public.
The online platform is a resource for research and information, which is disseminated in two main ways. First, it highlights key policy-relevant reports that have been published externally, through the website’s ‘External Reports’ function. Second, it disseminates original research papers that cover an array of policy-related issues.
The platform is independent, has no party-political association or view, and is not aligned with any sectional interest.
