The C.I.O. industrial survey

Abstract

The industrial survey which is being undertaken by the Committee on Industrial Organisation is of an unusually wide scope, for in this survey all the major industrial sectors in Ireland are being subject to detailed study over a short space of time. The following paper is divided into three parts. First, I shall outline summarily the methods of work and the results of the survey teams employed on the project. Secondly, I shall devote some space to consideration of the project on academic grounds, and finally I shall deal with some more practical considerations.
