The local government sector (S1313) comprises all Local Authorities, Regional Assemblies and a number of Approved Housing Bodies.

The CSO conducts an annual joint survey with the Department of the Housing, Planning and Local Government of all local authorities. This survey confirms and revises existing listings and obtains further information as needed in order to establish the statistical classification of all bodies under the aegis of local authorities. The following table is the first time to publish the list of these entities. The statistical classification process is outlined in the Background notes
