The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has decided to defer the collection of the census of agriculture which was due to take place on 1 June 2020, as a result of the coronavirus.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, key tasks scheduled between now and June cannot be completed, the CSO announced on Tuesday.
A new date to collect the census has not been set yet, but alternative dates and options are currently being assessed.
