A comprehensive and accurate census is in all our interests. The census results are important to every person and community in Ireland. They provide vital information needed to plan for the delivery of essential services such as health, education and transport.
Results are made available on topics such as age, education, health, employment, language(s) spoken, and so on. This information can then be used to identify and respond to the needs of our communities, our counties and our country. They can also help us to better understand and meet the needs of specific groups in our society, such as different age groups, socio-economic groups and ethnic groups.
The results are freely available to all and are widely used by individuals and groups across all parts of Irish society. Local and national Government, other public bodies, local and national representative and interest groups, businesses, academics, researchers and students all use census results in their daily activities.
It is important that every member of the Muslim community fills out their census form.

May you all have a blessed Ramadan.
