The Central Statistics Office (CSO) is employing over 5,500 temporary field staff to carry out the census taking place on 3 April 2022. This includes 6 Census Liaison Officers, 46 Regional Supervisors, 466 Field Supervisors and 5,100 Census Enumerators.

Thanks to the dedication of the enumerators and supervisory field staff, the delivery phase has been completed for 95% of households (as of the morning of 1 April) and with 3 days delivery remaining all is currently on target. There are a small number of homes where there are difficulties getting access to deliver forms, but alternative processes are being put in place to ensure these households receive their forms.
