Signature project

One year of hourly readings, five rules and three different answers

Nitrogen dioxide at the EPA's Blanchardstown site: the provisional readings for 2025 published on airquality.ie, in micrograms per cubic metre. Each rule is written out with its threshold, its time window and the number of times it may be passed.

Blanchardstown nitrogen dioxide in 2025, rule by rule
Rule	Threshold and window	In the 2025 readings
Current hourly limit	Over 200 in an hour, 18 times allowed	0 hours
Current annual limit	Year average over 40	24.6, from the hours available
2030 hourly limit	Over 200 in an hour, 3 times allowed	0 hours
2030 daily limit	Day average over 50, 18 times allowed	20 days
2030 annual limit	Year average over 20	24.6, from the hours available

Hours: well clear

The highest single hour in 2025 read 126.2. No hour went above 200, so neither hourly rule, with 18 passes allowed now or 3 from 2030, is troubled by these readings.

Days: the 2030 rule bites

Of 285 days with at least 18 hourly readings, 20 averaged above 50, the highest 64.7 on 6 February. The 2030 daily rule allows 18 such days a year. A count like this can only grow as missing days are filled in.

The year: an average with a hole

The hours available average 24.6, under the current 40 and over the 2030 figure of 20. But the average rests on 6,862 of the year's 8,760 hours, 78.3 percent, and the rules ask for at least 85.

Coverage decides whether an average can be reported at all

The 2024 air quality directive sets a minimum data coverage of 85 percent for a nitrogen dioxide annual mean from fixed measurements, and says that coverage must hold across parts of the year, by quarter, month or weekday, so that lost data cannot skew the result. Blanchardstown's 2025 readings cover 99.5, 100.0 and 99.8 percent of the first three quarters and 14.7 percent of the last: the published series stops on 14 October 2025 and resumes on 5 February 2026, a gap of 2,728 hours. The missing weeks are colder ones, and in the months that were measured the cooler months ran higher, January at 29.9 and April at 35.2 against June at 15.4, so the average that can be computed is more likely too low than too high. It takes one line of code to calculate it. Whether it counts as an annual mean under the rules is a separate test, and these readings do not pass it.

This is a different problem from a survey question left blank. Nobody declined to answer; an instrument's record has a hole in it, and the rules for handling that were written down before the data arrived. The learner's program reads the hourly series, keeps only hours that carry a value, and groups them three ways: by hour for the hourly rules; by day for the daily rule, keeping only days with at least 18 hourly values, as the directive requires; and by year, with a coverage check by quarter before any annual figure is printed. Each rule becomes one small function taking a threshold, a window and an allowed count, and returning the result together with the coverage behind it. Moving from today's rules to the 2030 ones is then a change of three numbers, not a rewrite.

Provisional, not validated

The site says its data "has been collected automatically from the monitoring sites and has not yet been validated", may be revised after validation, and that "Sharp spikes should be treated cautiously". Official assessments use validated data.

Two sets of rules, two dates

The limits the EPA lists now are 200 for an hour, passed no more than 18 times a calendar year, and 40 for the year. Directive (EU) 2024/2881 sets, for 1 January 2030, 200 for an hour no more than 3 times, 50 for a day no more than 18 times, and 20 for the year.

Partial years still count

The same directive says an assessment goes ahead whatever the coverage if the data allow a conclusive answer, and that short-term exceedances found in a partial year may still count. Missing data can hide a problem; it cannot prove there is none.

A campus for the north-west

TU Dublin says its Blanchardstown campus, in the IDA College Business and Technology Park, serves the greater Blanchardstown area and the north and west of Dublin city and county, and students from Meath, Kildare, Cavan and Louth.

Pools with moving floors

The Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre on Snugborough Road describes a ten-lane, 50-metre by 25-metre pool with two moveable floors so it can be set up for other uses, and a separate 25-metre diving pool.

The council's own description

Fingal County Council calls Blanchardstown "the most populous and urban area of the county" and its shopping centre "one of the largest retail areas in Ireland". Those are the council's words, not a measured figure.

Pages we could not read

Connolly Hospital's HSE pages, the council's Blanchardstown library page and Draíocht's contact page all returned "not found" when checked on 19 September 2026, so this page prints no address or details for them rather than borrowing one from somewhere less reliable.

Learning here

Lessons for learners across Dublin 15

Two lessons a week is the usual pattern, each one taught live by a teacher from its first minute to its last.

Children

Younger learners start with block code and simple rules: a door that opens only when a key is held and a switch is on, which is the same logic as a limit with conditions.

Teenagers

Teenagers move to Python, websites, AI projects and data work with real published series like the hourly readings on this page.

Adults

Adults can begin with no experience at all; the first lesson settles where they start and which course follows.

The readings and the limits are quoted from the EPA and the directive as published; the counts, averages and coverage figures are our own arithmetic on the provisional readings, done on 19 September 2026. The campus, the aquatic centre, the station, the arts centre and the council are quoted from their own websites.

Coding and AI

Ask an assistant whether Blanchardstown's air was within the limit

It will usually average the numbers and compare them with one figure.

Hand an AI assistant the 2025 readings and ask whether they were within the limit, and it will often average them, find 24.6, compare that with 40 and say yes. Every step is arithmetic done correctly. The answer still skips the daily rule due in 2030, the allowed counts, and the fact that the average rests on too little of the year to count.

Once the rule functions are written, the learner asks the assistant which limit it used and from which year, what time window that limit applies to, how many passes it allows, and what share of the year the data cover. An answer that cannot name all four is not yet an answer.

Averaging a column takes one line. Knowing which rule the question is really about is the skill. The longer argument is in why learning to code still repays the hours.

FAQ

Blanchardstown coding class questions

What families in Dublin 15 ask most often.

Is there a Modern Age Coders centre in Blanchardstown?

No. All teaching is live over video and we have no premises in Ireland. A learner needs a computer with a keyboard, working sound and a steady connection, and the phone number on this page is our number in India.

What is the data project on this page?

Testing the 2025 hourly nitrogen dioxide readings from the EPA's Blanchardstown site against five rules, current and 2030, each with its own threshold, window and allowed count. The same readings give three different answers, and the annual average fails the rules' own coverage test.

So is the air in Blanchardstown within the limits?

This page does not say, and neither should anyone working from the provisional readings. The EPA assesses compliance by zone using validated data, and the 2030 limits apply from 1 January 2030. The project is about what the published readings can and cannot support.

Why is there no population figure on this page?

Because we only print figures that the place or its institutions publish for it. District facts here come from named sources such as TU Dublin, the National Aquatic Centre, the EPA, Irish Rail and Fingal County Council.

When are lessons held?

Weekday afternoons once school finishes, weekday evenings and weekend daytimes. Times are fixed in Irish time; our teachers are in India, which is four and a half hours ahead in Irish summer time and five and a half in winter, and we only offer slots that work for both.

Can adults in Dublin 15 join?

Yes, at any level up to the age of sixty-seven. After the first lesson an adult can choose a small same-level group or private lessons.

Will my child be grouped with other Blanchardstown children?

Only by coincidence. Learners are grouped by level, so classmates may come from Dublin 15, from other parts of Ireland or from abroad.

What do coding classes in Blanchardstown cost?

The first lesson is free. After that a group place is USD 100 a month for about eight live lessons, two a week, with five to ten learners, and one-to-one lessons on the same schedule are USD 150 a month. Nothing is paid before the plan is agreed.

How big are the groups?

Five to ten learners, grouped by level, pace and aim rather than by age or area. If no group fits at a workable time, lessons are one to one.
