Census of Ireland, 1911
General instruction
Heads of families are requested to insert their particulars specified on the other side, in compliance with the Census (Ireland) Act, 1910, 10 Edw. VII., and 1 Geo. V. c. 11.
If a house be let or sub-let to separate families, or to lodgers (not boarders), each head of a family or lodger must make a return for his portion of the house upon a separate form.
Hotel and lodging-house keepers and stewards of clubs, are to give a return of all persons who arrive at their establishment on Monday, the 3rd of April, and who had not been enumerated elsewhere.
This paper will be called for on Monday, April 3rd, or as soon after as possible, between the hours of half-past eight in the forenoon and six in the afternoon, by the appointed enumerator, and it is desirable that the required particulars be written in the proper columns by the morning of that day, in order that his progress may not be delayed. The enumerator will assist such persons as may not be able to fill the form themselves.
No question shall be put by the enumerator for the purpose of obtaining information other than the information required by the forms and instructions issued under the authority of the Census Act.
The facts will be published in general abstracts only, and strict care will be taken that the returns are not used for the gratification of curiosity, or for any other object than that of rendering the Census as complete as possible. If any person employed in taking the Census communicates without lawful authority any information acquired in the course of his employment, he is liable to punishment under the Official Secrets Act, 1889.
Attention is directed to the Extracts from the Census Act printed on this form; and also to the direction at head of each column.
