STATISTICAL INFORMATION.—The Central Statistics Office (The Castle, Dublin) was established in June, 1949, and is attached to the Department of the Taoiseach; Director:— R. C. Geary, D.Se.; Deputy Director, M. D. McCarthy, M.A., Ph.D.
The Central Statistics Office took over the work carried out since 1922 by the Statistics Branch, Department of Industry and Commerce, which in turn had continued the statistical work carried out by the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction (since 1900) and by the Irish Department of the Ministry of Labour, London (since 1919). Vital statistics from 1864, annual agricultural statistics prior to 1900 and decennial census of population were compiled by the Registrar-General for Ireland. The population censuses were carried out in 1920, 1936 and 19–16 by the Statistics Branch of the Department of Industry and Commerce and are now the responsibility of the Central Statistics Office which has also, as from July, 1950, taken ovar from the Registrar-General the compilation of Vital Statistics. The Statistics Act 1926 confers wide powers for the collection, compilation and publication of statistics. Other Acts under which statistics are collected are Workmen’s Compensation Act, Merchant Shipping Act, Customs Consolidation Act and Road Transport Act.
Principal publications of the Central Statistics Office are Census of Population Reports, Census of Industrial Production Reports, Statistical Abstract (annually), White Paper on National Income and Expenditure, Trade and Shipping Statistics (anuually and monthly), Irish Trade Journal and Statistical Bulletin (quarterly), and Irish Statistical Survey.
