Census 2006 geography coding error involving two adjacent Electoral Divisions (EDs)

 

363 households with a combined population of 940 persons, which should have been coded to the ED of Tallaght-Jobstown, were incorrectly coded to the neighbouring ED of Saggart in the Census 2006 file. Both EDs are in the administrative county of South Dublin.

Table 3 in Census 2006 - Principal Demographic Results and tables 5, 6 and 8 in Census 2006 Volume 1, which were affected by the error, have now been corrected and the amended versions of these tables have been uploaded to the CSO website. The Small Area Population Statistics (SAPS) for the relevant EDs have also been amended. These include the ED, HSE and Constituency files. Revised versions of the POWCAR file will be forwarded to accredited users before the end of September 2008.

 

It is CSO policy to correct any errors detected in published information as quickly as possible.
