Central Statistics Office

Also known as CSO.

The Central Statistics Office is the agency that collects official statistics on economic, social and general conditions in the State, including the census, which is taken every five years. It answers to the Taoiseach and has its main offices in Cork.

Section 8 of the Statistics Act 1993 establishes an office of that name to carry out the functions of the Act, which provides for the collection, compilation, extraction and dissemination of official statistics. The Act came into operation on 1 November 1994 under the Statistics Act, 1993 (Commencement) Order, 1994 (S.I. No. 323/1994).

1173 spending records on file.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
