Being stopped to answer surveys by Gardai

Just wondering are you obliged to stop and answer surveys being conducted by county councils etc at the roadside, they had a garda with them. Under what powers can a garda stop and detain you for such a purpose? Seen this happening today in Kilkenny City.

If a Garda stops you, then you are obliged to stop. You are not being detained. But the survey is entirely your own decision, no one can force you to do that.
