    Sales data are available through Nielsen BookScan, a commercial service for bookshops with data for various countries, including Ireland (BOSS Ireland). I do not know if you can take out a personal subscription, but it is probably a bit expensive.

    The list of best selling books with number of copies sold that week are in the Irish Times supplement on a Saturday. I don't know how they are calculated but they should answer your question.

    I think the Sunday Times culture magazine last weekend also listed the top 5 books in terms of sales across a number of categories, including sports books. These may related to sales numbers in the UK however. If it this would be of some use and you can't track down a copy, I can post the titles/numbers later on once I'm home.
