The CSO publish data relating to the construction industry including; activity of private building and construction f irms , monthly employment index for private firms, the Production in Building and Construction Index , and detailed data relating to planning permissions. In light of this, there are currently no plans to re-establish a centralised collection and analysis of data pertaining to the construction industry.
