Dr. Stephen Hynes:

It is possible. Indeed, we are doing it. We can generate data for counties and distinguish between rural and urban. However, it becomes more difficult at lower levels. We can look into profiling the data at the small area level in terms of employment, educational attainment and so on using the census, but it would be more difficult to determine the level of economic activity generated in EDs in County Mayo or County Donegal. We could produce estimates, but they would be based on population densities as a percentage of the larger spatial scale for which we have statistics. We could break the figures down further.
