Introduction
A Census of Population was taken on the night of Sunday, 28 April 20021, in accordance with the Statistics(Census of Population) Order 2001 (S.I. No. 491 of 2001)2. A copy of the census questionnaire, including theexplanatory notes which accompanied it, is reproduced in Appendix 1.
This eighth volume of the detailed report contains results relating to the Irish Traveller Community covering themain demographic and socio-economic topics distinguished in the census.
Subsequent census volumes will analyse the population by such characteristics as travel to work, disability,carers, Irish language, religion and housing.
Coverage of the Census
The census figures relate to the de facto population, i.e. the population recorded for each area represents thetotal of all persons present within its boundaries on the night of Sunday, 28 April 2002, together with all personswho arrived in that area on the morning of Monday, 29 April 2002, not having been enumerated elsewhere.Persons on board ships in port are included with the population of adjacent areas. The figures, therefore,include visitors present on census night as well as those in residence, while usual residents temporarily absentfrom the area are excluded from the census count.
A limited number of questions, relating mainly to demographic characteristics, were asked in respect of usualresidents who were temporarily absent from their households on census night. The responses to thesequestions enables a more precise picture to be built up on families and households by excluding visitors presenton census night and including residents who were temporarily absent.
Conduct of the Census
A temporary field force consisting of 5 Census Liaison Officers, 35 Regional Supervisors, 350 Field Supervisorsand some 4,000 part-time enumerators carried out the census enumeration. Blank census questionnaires weredistributed to every household and communal establishment in the State during the four weeks immediatelypreceding census night. Collection of completed questionnaires commenced on Monday, 29 April. Theenumerators examined the questionnaires at the time of collection to ensure that they were correctly completedand, where necessary, they assisted householders in their completion.
Production of Results
Each enumerator first prepared and returned to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) a summary of the populationin his/her enumeration area. These summaries formed the basis for the preliminary 2002 population results3.The completed questionnaires for the individual households were subsequently transmitted to the CSO forprocessing.
The population summaries, dwelling listings and enumeration maps for individual enumeration areas werechecked for consistency and used to determine the boundaries of census towns and suburbs/environs of townswith legal boundaries. The capture and processing of the responses to questions on the census questionnaireproceeded concurrently.
1 The census originally planned for 29 April 2001 was postponed because of the Foot and Mouth disease situation pertaining at the time.2 The Statistics (Census of Population) Order, 2001 was made by the Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach in pursuance of
powers conferred on him by section 25 (1) of the Statistics Act, 1993 (No. 21 of 1993) and the Statistics (Delegation of MinisterialFunctions) Order, 1997 (S.I. No. 327 of 1997).
