The latest breakdown of the number of enterprise births available from the Central Statistics Office is for the year 2014. Data for 2015 is not yet available as it is dependent on the receipt of administrative data which are filed in 2016 but are not fully available to the CSO until March 2017. Enterprise ownership information by gender is not available. The figures, which are published in Table 4 of the CSO’s Business Demography release 2014, show the number of enterprise births in the private business economy, i.e. in private sector businesses in the Industry, Construction, and Services sectors (NACE Rev 2 codes B to N, excluding code 64.20 “Activities of Holding Companies”) as classified by the CSO. A table contains the enterprise birth figures by sector for the years 2013 and 2014 respectively.
