The Central Statistics Office compiles statistics on industrial disputes from details supplied by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and from information it collects directly. The latest figures, published on 14 March 2007, related to the four quarters of 2006. Ten industrial disputes began or were in progress in 2006, involving ten firms and a total of 7,352 days lost.

Further details are set out in the following table which I propose to circulate in the Official Report.
