Irish Transport Statistics

James Kehoe — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:00:37 +0000

Nautical Enterprise attended the Irish Central Statistic Office (CSO) annual business statistics seminar focusing on Transport, in Dublin Castle on Wednesday the 11th of November 2009. Relevant presentations from this seminar are available at the link below.

EXTRACT FROM SEMINAR PROGRAMME:

The theme of this seminar will be transport. Transport is not only an important economic sector but also a sector of major social and environmental importance. As concerns over cross-cutting issues such as health, sustainable travel and energy consumption have emerged, so have the demands for data.

CSO is continually striving to remain relevant to data users by compiling data on emerging developments and trends.

The Business Statistics Seminar provides an ideal opportunity to hear about some of the new data holdings and reports being developed by CSO and learn about some ongoing research that is making use of CSO data.
