The preliminary total for the population enumerated on Census Night 10 April 2011 was 4,581,269 persons, compared with 4,239,848 persons in April 2006, an increase of 341,421 persons since 2006 or 8.1 per cent. This translates into an annual average increase of 68,284, or 1.6 per cent.  
 
This report presents the results of the preliminary count of the census which was held on 10th 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.  For further information contact Shaun McLaughlin on 353 1 895 1474.
