The Programme for Government contains a commitment to enabling the publication of the 1926 Census. This Census was the first undertaken by an independent State ten years after the Rising; four years after the Treaty was signed; and just three years after the Civil War. It is, therefore, an historic collection of great value and interest for historians and family researchers alike. I intend to bring a proposal to Government on enabling its publication in the coming weeks.
