There is an upcoming joint release on the findings of census 2022 and NISRA's census of 2021. Northern Ireland carried out its census during Covid, while we, as the Senator will know, deferred ours until 2022. The release highlights the potential for co-operation to provide insights on an all-island basis. This is the second such combined document on our census. In 2011, a joint North-South amalgamation of our censuses was produced, so there is a good working relationship between our two organisations. I know the CSO is looking forward to the results of the 2021 Northern Ireland census, and the publication of the joint results of that and of our 2022 census is going to come out later this year.
