India, Oct. 13 -- Ireland's construction sector grew at a slower pace in September largely due to the solid decline in housing activity, survey results from S&P Global showed Tuesday.
The AIB construction Purchasing Managers' Index posted 50.4 in September, down from 50.7 in August. The score was slightly above the 50.0 no-change mark to signal a slight monthly expansion in output in the sector.
The growth was limited by a further fall in work on residential projects in September. Housing activity dropped for the second straight month, while civil engineering activity returned to growth. Work on commercial projects expanded for the third consecutive month.
