Official description:  "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 01 895 1474."
