As part of the preparatory work for the 2011 census the CSO conducted a public consultation by inviting members of the public and various interest groups to make submissions on the topics to be covered, and on...

Pat Carey: I propose to take Questions Nos. 153 and 154 together. The basis of the area classification used in the collection of Live Register data is the Department of Social and Family Affairs local office of registration. The areas served by Local Employment Offices do not correspond to specific geographic boundaries. Therefore, registrants at a given local office do not necessarily come from a...

Pat Carey: The printing contract for the 2011 census was part of a comprehensive census tender which was published on etenders in April 2009. The tender covered the software solution for the processing system, which was based on the system used for the 2006 census, the provision, installation and commissioning of the necessary hardware to carry out the processing and the printing of the census forms and...

Census of Population. (26 Jan 2010)

Pat Carey: I propose to take Questions Nos. 88 and 89 together. The Government decided in July 2008 that a census of population will take place in 2011, as required by EU regulation, and asked the CSO to commence the necessary preparations. A public consultation was conducted in September 2008. The CSO placed a notice in the national press inviting views on the topics to be covered and on the outputs...

Census of Population. (26 Jan 2010)

Pat Carey: I thank Deputy Barrett for his question. When I took over this responsibility a year and a half ago, one of the first matters that came to my attention, through a constituent of the Deputy's, was the issue of autism. I took the trouble to raise it directly with the CSO. I went to the CSO office in Cork, just to tease out the issue. The reply I have given is substantially what the...

Census of Population. (26 Jan 2010)

Pat Carey: I would not go all the way with what Deputy Barrett is suggesting. He should not forget that we have a fairly significant body of disability legislation, which was enacted by this House in recent years. The national disability database together with other pieces of legislation, such as the EPSEN Act, have been progressively implemented. They are the principal vehicles whereby the type of...

Submissions were received from 91 different organisations and individuals. These covered Departments, local authorities, Government agencies, the research and academic communities and private individuals. The...

Pat Carey: I will do what Deputy Ó Caoláin has requested and revert to him as quickly as I possibly can. The CSO's thinking was strongly examined, evaluated and its advice was taken in the end. In an operation of the size and scale of the census, it is important to bear in mind that only questions that have been tested in the field, have proved to have worked and were acceptable to householders can...

Census of Population. (26 Jan 2010)

Pat Carey: There is certainly anecdotal evidence that it is proving extremely difficult to compile census data from, for example, gated communities and others. Anything up to a half dozen attempts would have been made in the previous census by enumerators to collect census forms. A substantial majority of the forms were ultimately collected and the information collated. I will find out for the Deputy...

Census of Population. (26 Jan 2010)

Pat Carey: It will not be possible to compile that type of information in the proposed census survey. The Deputy will have seen on the database, in terms of household characteristics, the type of categories of questions that must be answered. The type of information required includes the type of accommodation, the year the house was built, the nature of occupancy of the household, rent paid, number of...

Census of Population. (26 Jan 2010)

Pat Carey: It may well be possible in the analysis of the returns for that kind of information to be elicited. It would be worthwhile. However, I have already stated that the questions have been set and it is gone to the stage where the Government has taken a decision.

Census of Population. (26 Jan 2010)

Pat Carey: I agree with Deputy McManus that it would be interesting, and probably essential, for us to find a way, but she mentioned that some of the utilities - it is entirely possible, if we go down the road of installing water meters in every household unit in the State - would provide a way of finding out how many are occupied. The ESB, gas companies and the like could provide data. However, at...
