Irish National Stud

The Irish National Stud is a thoroughbred breeding establishment at Tully, County Kildare, owned by the Government. The National Stud Act 1945 vests the State lands known as the National Stud Farm in the Minister for Agriculture and authorises that Minister to promote a limited company to carry on stud farming there.

The company was incorporated on 11 April 1946 under the National Stud Act 1945.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
