Abstract:
This paper will outline the development of a course in Official Statistics presented in the Department of Statistics, University College Dublin, Ireland. Courses in official statistics would generally not be found in university statistics' departments but the experience in UCD may help others decide that such courses may deserve a position alongside the more traditional academic statistics courses.
