Census of Population on April 10

/in /by

Reminder – a Census of Population will take place in Ireland on April 10 next and everyone who is in Ireland on that night must be included in the census. It is important for us all as a society that everyone is included and that correct information is collected. If you represent a group or community, it is also important that they themselves are included so that full account will be taken of them and their needs when decisions are being made for the future.

For further information and to see the answers to some of the most frequently

asked questions www.census.ie or call the CSO on 01-8951304.
