NUTS 3 Statistical Regions Of The Republic Of Ireland
There are eight regions at NUTS III level in Ireland which came into existence in 1994, under the terms of the Local Government Act 1991. The geographical remit of each region is currently defined by combining the areas under the jurisdiction of three or more LAU-1 units of local government - the county and city councils. Each Region is governed by an associated Regional Authority. The role of the authorities is to monitor and regulate the delivery of the EU Structural Fund and to promote the co-ordination of the provision of public services.

Compassed about with heavens fair,
Great tracts of land there may be found
Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
Where many numerous hosts
In those far distant coasts,
For other great and glorious ends,
Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
