Construction activity in Ireland grew again last month but at a slower pace as companies responded to sustained new order growth.
The AIB Construction PMI also shows employment and purchasing activity increased last month, while companies remained optimistic regarding the year-ahead outlook, despite some worries regarding the impacts of US trade policy.
The index posted 52.4 in April, down from 53.9 in March but still above the 50.0 no-change mark and signalling a second consecutive month of growth in Irish construction activity.
