dc.description.abstract | Before proceeding to the considerations directly connected
with the statistics of Irish Trade and Production, I should
like to draw attention to a general question which bears on
the matter under discussion. The growing importance of social
and economic policy, the sense that all private business has
a public side to it, and the need that public interests should be
adequately safeguarded, present conditions which have favoured
the development of State functions of inquiry and control.
But these functions have been growing so gradually as to be
hardly observed by men engrossed in affairs. It is only when a
great step forward is made, such as the Census of Production
Act, 1906 (6 Ed. VII., c. 49), that there is in the public mind a
general heave of consciousness of the fact that the State has
developed new eyes and ears and hands, and the ordinary
suspicious mortal asks himself how it will affect taxation. | en |
