Helping to shape the future for Enterprises in Ireland

The CSO collects trustworthy data and insights about our economy for use by households, communities, enterprises, decision-makers, public services and researchers.

The information we collect in our enterprise surveys is used by economists and researchers to understand the business economy, by policy makers across Government, and by individuals and enterprises who want more information on their sector. Enterprise surveys are not just about economic activity but also provide much needed information on how businesses are doing, how they are meeting new challenges like digitalisation and green transition, and how they contribute to our society.

PIN not working (‘survey closed’ message)

Your CSO Identifier is the same for all surveys attached to the enterprise, but the PIN changes for every new survey. Please ensure you are using the correct PIN and that the browser is not auto-filling from a previous survey you completed.

If you are seeing this message and the survey has been open for a few months, please send an email to the survey email address to ensure that it is still open for returns.

I need a hard copy to pass around

For most of our eQ surveys you will find a link to a copy of the survey questions on the landing page, before you begin the survey.

Example of link to a copy of the survey questions on the landing page

Please note that, due to the nature of the e-Q, not all questions will be presented, depending on the answers given. But you can use this document to get a general idea of what is required.

Most surveys also have a pdf copy of their survey questions on the survey Methodology page, if this is the case it will be referenced in the individual survey page.
