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 censns of population were compiled by the Registrar-General for Ireland. The population censuses were carried out in 1926, 19S6 and 1946 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 over from the Registrar-Qeneral the compilation of Vital Statistics. The Statistics Act 1926 confers wide powers for the collection, compilation and publication of statistics. Other Acte under which statistics are collected are Workmen’s Compensation Act, Merchant Shipping Act, Customs Consolidation Act and Road Transport Act.
Prinoipal publications of the Central Statistics Office are Irish Statistical Survey (annually), Statistical Abstract (annually), Census of Population Reports, Census of Industrial Production Reports, Trade and Shipping Statistics (annually and monthly), Irish Trade Journal and Statistical Bulletin (quarterly)
