Mr. Pádraig Dalton:
The National Archives already has the forms from 1926. We are currently working with the National Archives on a project to protect all the census forms, not just those from 1926 onwards. There is a project starting that will look at the whole issue of digitising the census forms from 1926 to make sure they are available once the 100 years has elapsed in 2026. I am not familiar with the costs because it will not be a cost incurred by the CSO and it will be an issue for the National Archives to digitise and publish those data.
