Conradh na Gaeilge has encouraged Irish speakers to request census forms in Irish for Census 2022.
Paula Melvin, President of Conradh na Gaeilge said: "The 2022 Census is under way and we want the public to be aware that it is possible to get an Irish language form for the census.
"You can ask the enumerator when they come to the door or if you prefer to request an Irish form in advance you can email [email protected] with your home address or Select 'Irish Form required' on the helpdesk at the censushelpdesk.cso.ie link.
"The Conradh always encourages people to use state services that are available through Irish and this is a great opportunity to do so.”
Aodhán Ó Deá, Deputy Secretary General of Conradh na Gaeilge said: "Don't worry if you have already received a form in English. The CSO has informed us that they can be contacted at [email protected] and they can arrange to have the form exchanged for you.
"We also recommend that you don’t worry about the Irish terminology on the census form, copies of the questions in English are available on the CSO website (or at this link: bit.ly/bearla22 ) if any term needs to be clarified."
