Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

When asked to speak publicly on this issue, I have called on the people to fill out their census forms. I did not wish to undermine the census project because it is of critical importance. While I acted in good faith, I call on the Government and the CSO, now this project has been completed, to ensure this State never again employs a company to carry out critical work on behalf of the people that has any connection to human rights abuses at any time.
