Mr. Pádraig Dalton:

We produce statistics on average household size from the census data, so one can look at the trend over time and see if that is increasing. What might be particularly interesting is to look at that at small area level, not just at an aggregate level, because sometimes the devil is in the detail. When this is segregated down by region, by electoral division and by small area, one can really drill into details on those types of statistics. We will produce a publication on households and families from the census on 27 July and another on homeless persons in Ireland on 10 August.
