    Is it one person for all the family or each individual of the family and the householder signs it then. I can see the need for the householder to fill it in if young children are present but with adults whats the story?

    each person living in the house has to fill in their part - if its family home, someone will prob just fill out the details for all present - if you living in house share, then each of you fill out your own details - just pick one person to go first, as the main person- doesnt really matter who - then just fill in your own details after that

    Yep, most of the ones before that were destroyed and the next census after 1911 (from 1926) isnt going to be released till 2026 apparantly.

    They don't release census' till most people on it have died.

    Thought I was staying at home and had census all filled out. Ended uP in a hotel and am being told it is obligatory to fill out an "individuAl form"

    I'm worried I'll get in trouble for popping up twice, should I just not hand it in? Or are the CSO prepared for this type of thing? Any help greatly appreciated!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,340 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    oh they give out forms at hotels, you use that one? and id you plan to fill you and your family in on the other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    How it obligatory to fill out a form as a temporary resident of a hotel? Tell 'em to cram it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 850 ✭✭✭Hookah


    If you're lucky they'll look for the other TomG29, and you'll be alright.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭easyeason3


    €25,000 fine.
    Is the hotel worth it by the way?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad

    Merged.

    Sorry for posting in AH, wasn't sure where to put this, and AH is the "off-topic" forum.

    I filled out my part on the Census earlier today at home as an "absent but usually there" person, and intended on filling myself out in college tonight.

    I live in a house on campus, and house-share with 12 people. Most of them seem to be away, there was only 2 people here when I arrived, and neither of them have any idea where the Census form is. In fact, they didn't know that tonight is the night to fill it out.

    The person in charge of the form (the Person 1) seems to be not coming back until tomorrow, and his room is locked.

    What do I do now? What if they come tomorrow looking for it? Will I get fined up to 25grand. I wish I didn't fill myself out as absent at home - I could've just rang my parents and told them to put me on the home one.

    I'm 18, this is the first Census that I personally am filling in. I made a mistake ticking a box earlier, corrected it as per the instructions on the front of the census form, but my dad gave out stink to me for "rushing into it and making a balls of it". If he knew that I didn't fill it in tonight he'd go mad :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    I ran out of space for i need 2 extra slots to fill in details

    2 cats were left out!!! But got the goldfish and the hamster in phew :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭Duckworth_Luas


    Fill out the Temporary Resident Form at the hotel. This is where you are on census night so it's the correct thing to do. Later, amend your Household form by striking out all entries related to you. Inform the enumerator of what happened when he arrives to collect the form.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,305 ✭✭✭yoshytoshy


    I had to fill it in with a marker ,I didn't want to get a fine :eek:

    The thing looks like toilet roll with ink running through it:(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Ste.phen


    You're supposed to fill in the one in the hotel with your current, actual info
    On the one you left at home there's a section for 'people who are normally here but didn't stay on the night of April 10th, with far fewer questions. Presumably they use a combination of both sets of data

    Not filling out the census form? I think I'm gonna be sick, it's scum like you that have ruined this country. I hope they lock you up and throw away the key.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    Kick in his bedroom door this a matter that requires immediate urgency while your at it have a good root around his room for embarrassing thing and post back your findings
    :pac:

    I have a headache and I'm not filling it out or having sex tonight.

    Just duck down behind the sofa when the census collector calls.

    One at home is family, already filled in and can't amend it. Filled in this hotel one, I'm sure they've accounted for this type of thing

    I heard that they start knocking on doors from midnight tonight to start collecting the forms.
    Basically you're fcuked.
    Expect them at your door around fourish in the morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    I find it bizarre that so many people actually waited until tonight to fill it out.

    It's almost like there's a weird irrational fear of doing something wrong & being caught if you fill it in before you're "supposed to".

    Lol, that might work for the TV license inspector but those census form collectors are accompanied by a navy seal team and a load of attack dogs.
