Mayo people get opportunity to make census history

The Census Pilot Survey is about to close which means this is the last weekend that people can complete the form.

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) will issue a final press release on Friday next, October 18 to announce that the Census Pilot Survey will close on Friday 25 October.

These last few days mark the final opportunity for the people of Mayo to make history by being among the first people in Ireland to test the census form online.

A spokesperson stated: "We are also strongly encouraging anyone who has already requested an online access code but have yet to submit the survey to take this last chance to now complete it.

"Our staff are available for interview this weekend and all next week ahead of this final deadline of Friday, October, to talk about the progress of the Census Pilot Survey in Mayo and some initial results from the wider Census Pilot project."
