Airmid Éireann publishes the public pharma data that Priya Life Science collects as free, open datasets. The first release is live: 10 datasets and 32,975 records as CSV and JSON, each with its source, licence and collection date. The code that collects it follows after review.
Airmid (also written Airmed) was a healer of the Tuatha Dé Danann and the daughter of Dian Cécht, their physician. Her story is told in Cath Maige Tuired, "The Second Battle of Mag Tuired", a medieval Irish saga.
When her brother Miach died, 365 healing herbs grew from his grave, one for each of his joints and sinews.
Airmid spread her cloak on the ground and gathered the herbs onto it, sorting each one by its healing power.
Airmid and her family kept a healing well. The wounded were placed in it and, the story tells, came out whole.
She gathered the healing herbs and put them in order. That is what this project does with Ireland's medicine data.
Éireann = "of Ireland" · Tobar Airmid = "Airmid's Well"
Why Priya Life Science is building an open data project for Ireland.
Ireland makes medicines for the world, yet the public facts about that industry are hard to find and harder to use. I started Priya Life Science to bring those facts together and explain them. Airmid Éireann is how we give that work back.
Our mission is to gather Ireland's public pharma data, check it, say exactly where every number comes from, and make it free for anyone to use: students, researchers, journalists, patients and companies.
One trusted, open source of pharma data for Ireland and Europe, where nothing is invented, every figure can be traced to its source, and mistakes are corrected in public.
We want the next student writing a thesis, the next journalist checking a claim and the next company choosing Ireland to start from the same open, honest data.
The Well: 10 open datasets, free to download. Each keeps the licence of its source and shows when it was collected. Current release: 13 October 2026.
Every registered study with a site in Ireland, all statuses: phase, status, lead sponsor, conditions and dates.
Every human medicine on the HPRA list: name, holder, form, ATC code, active substances, routes and legal status.
Shortage notices published by the EMA, with status, forms affected, alternatives and expected resolution.
Every human medicine evaluated by the EMA: status, holder, ATC code, therapeutic area, dates and flags such as orphan, biosimilar or conditional.
Medicines designated for rare diseases in the EU, with the condition, status and date of designation.
FDA shortage notices by package: generic name, company, presentation, status, reason and dates.
Every FDA application (new drugs, biologics and generics) whose original submission was approved since 2021.
New Drug Submission approvals, with brand names, medicinal ingredients and therapeutic class.
Monthly value of Irish exports of medicinal and pharmaceutical products (SITC 54) to each destination, since 2015.
US National Institutes of Health awards to organisations in Ireland, fiscal years 2014 onwards.
Every file is listed in catalog.json, with every field described in the data dictionary and changes in the changelog. The same data can also be browsed on our registers, such as clinical trials in Ireland and medicines in Ireland; how each is built is on our methodology page.
Open does not mean careless. These stay out of Airmid Éireann, and here is why.
Investigators, staff, officers and journalists are never included, even when a source publishes them.
NICE appraisal facts, German shortage notices (BfArM) and Japanese trial records (jRCT) were licensed to Priya Life Science for our pages. They are not ours to pass on.
GMP certificates from EudraGMDP, third-party headcount lists and market prices stay out until their owners allow it.
Patient leaflets, SmPCs and guidance documents belong to their publishers. We link to them instead.
For students, researchers, journalists and developers. Download the files, read the catalog from your own code, or cite a release.

The code that collects and checks the data is written as a separate, clean project, and will be published so anyone can read it, run it and suggest improvements.
How we work, and what you can hold us to.
If a figure is not in a source, it is not in Airmid Éireann. Gaps are shown as gaps.
Each dataset names its publisher, its licence and the date it was collected.
No personal names or contact details, ever.
Dates are targets and may move. This page always shows where the project stands.
Short answers to the questions we hear most.
Yes. The data is free to use, share and build on, under the open licence of each source. Credit the source and Airmid Éireann. The collection code will follow under the EU Public Licence.
Yes. The first release has 10 datasets and 32,975 records, free to download as CSV and JSON at priyalifescience.com/opendata/airmid/v1/, with a catalog.json index. The code that collects it will be published after review.
Each release records the date it was collected, shown on every dataset. The catalog and this page always show the current release; the changelog lists what changed.
Some data was licensed to us only for our own pages, some contains personal details, and some has terms that do not allow passing it on. We publish only what we are allowed to, and we say why the rest is left out.
No. Airmid Éireann describes medicines, trials and the industry using public records. It is not medical advice. Always ask a doctor or pharmacist about treatment.
