This note describes the regional pattern of agricultural production in 1980 and the changes which occurred between 1970 and 1980. It is based on a more detailed review and mapping of the results from the 1970 and 1980 census
enumerations for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (Horner, Walsh and Williams, 1984). Here the comments are restricted mostly to patterns referring to the level of the five ACOT (Agricultural Training Authority) regions in the Republic and to Northern Ireland (Tables 1 and 2)
