[BAA05] Activity of Private Building and Construction Firms with 20 or more Persons Engaged (New Basis)

Data Revised on the 18th of August 2009 Recent improvements to the CSO Central Business Register have led to a significant increase in the number of enterprises with 20 or more persons engaged being identified and covered in the 2006 Census of Building and Construction. The expanded coverage has led to a discontinuity between the results for 2006 and those published previously. To help overcome this discontinuity, estimated results for 2005 have been included to reflect, as far as possible, the increased coverage of 2006. The annual Census is intended to cover firms in the private (i.e. non-State) sector with 20 or persons engaged whose main activity is building, construction or civil engineering. The numbers in employment refers to the situation as of mid-September. See background notes
