Officials of the Central Statistics Office attend about 200 international meetings per year on statistical matters. The majority of these relate to the EU Statistical Programme and the CSO also sends representatives to statistical meetings organised by the UN, OECD and other bodies. A comprehensive list of the international meetings attended by the CSO is not readily available. The CSO has not been represented by any other State body in relation to meetings dealing with the collection of statistics although it does collaborate with relevant State bodies as the need arises.
