This report is based on results of the preliminary count of the census which was held on 10 April, 2011. The results are based on summary counts for each enumeration area which have been compiled by 4,854 enumerators. Each enumerator wrote the total number of persons, males and females in each household onto the front of the census form and then prepared a clerical summary of the total for their area. These summaries were returned to the CSO in advance of the census forms themselves and the results in this report are based on this information. Results from the full Census 2011 volumes, to be published from March 2012, may differ slightly from these preliminary statistics.
