Census

9th June, 2008

As part of the preparations for the next Census, a Field Trial will be carried out by CSO field staff to test the use of hand-held pocket computers. These devices will be used to track the progress of Census enumeration and record the location of dwellings. The enumerators will simulate the Delivery and Collection of Census forms and use the device to record basic information about the enumeration process.
All CSO field staff involved will wear high visibility jackets and ID badges and have no need to contact householders or to go into anyone's home to in the course of this Census Field Trial.
The trial will take place during June and July 2008 and will be carried out in selected parts of Swords, around the IFSC centre and Smithfield in Dublin City.
