Awh this takes me back! I'm not sure how the data is officially downloaded and analysed....but back in 2010 i had a copy of data from the 2006 census (the non identifying data which is made available, just the tick the box sections) given to me in excel! Thats 1.8 million rows of data on an excel sheet! Ridiculously frustrating to sift through on my laptop, crashing constantly.

So yes they do have the data on a fecking excel sheet!

They gave it to you in .xls/.xlsx format? Seriously? Because I am sure they do not hold and process the data in that specific format. It was theoretically possible to export the three-million-product engineering database I used to work on in Excel format as well, but that was not its native format and we could never have used it if it had been. I would bet that they gave it to you in a format that just happened to be opened on your computer in Excel by default.

When are the findings of the 2016 census made public?

It's an excuse alright.

Won't stop you getting a fine though, if they decide to prosecute.

They did not prosecute people like Haughey or Ahern over more serious things, so I doubt they are going to prosecute a whole street full of people who all never received census forms.

I can envision some devout enumerators studiously going through all the forms and changing all the no religion to Catholic.

I am sure stranger things have happened in this great little country.

Why would the CSO have prosecuted Haughey or Ahern?

Methinks you haven't a clue.

I'll rephrase it for you so: "The state" did not prosecute people like Haughey or Ahern over more serious things, so I doubt "the state" are going to prosecute a whole street full of people who all never received census forms.

After the census in 2006, it appears only two people were prosecuted over the census forms, and received fines of €200.http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/up-to-20-face-court-over-census-refusal-26786342.html

I fail to see the relevance of Haughey and Ahern. Also, the CSO are not the state.

I'm failing to see your point.

I think the cenusers would have to realise this, come and offer them a form and request at least once that they fill it in before prosecutions could be initiated :rolleyes::pac:

Do you have to return the form in person, I keep missing the collector due to work and want to just leave it outside my door for her to pick it up.

If she left a card with her number, call her. Do you want your personal info on the doorstep?

It is a 4 house apartment block that only I occupy at the moment and has a coded door, she can only call between certain hours, all of which coincide with me at work, she left the form under my door to start with, I have yet to see her.

Did she leave a card with a mobile number. ? If so call her.

Just queried Question 14 (Do you speak Irish) with the enumerator, and even she said it's completely open to interpretation! Well do you speak Irish? Yes I do, but only a handful of off the shelf sentences, so then you do speak Irish. Yes I suppose I do.

Or do I?

Surely the question should ask 'Can you converse in Irish' as this would give a much clearer answer.

Incidentally, I was really surprised to read that just over 50% of weddings in Ireland in 2015 were Catholic weddings. I would have thought it would be higher, even with the increasing popularity of civil services.

The breakdown for 2015 was:

56.7% Roman Catholic
28% Civil
5.7% Humanist
3.7% Spiritualist
1.8% Church of Ireland
4.1% Other religions

Source: www (dot) cso (dot) ie/en/releasesandpublications/er/mcp/marriagesandcivilpartnerships2015/

The Humanists only have about 10 celebrants who are turning LOADS of couples down due to being fully booked so I would wonder what the figures were like if there were more secular celebrants and if the civil celebrants worked at the weekend.

If the HSE allowed registrars to work weekends and perform weddings outdoors or in venues other than those that pass their narrow rules, civil marriages would rocket up.

Bit pointless having registrars that don't work weekends.

By that logic I speak French, German, Thai, Chinese and Irish.

Civil servants dontcha know :P

I know though, most people want to get married on the weekend so they make registrars work office hours only.
