And we're all legally required to have our information entered onto a census form.

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) is asking everyone to ensure their information is recorded accurately, with a range of resources available on census.ie to help.

Over the past month, a team of over 5,000 have delivered more than 2 million census forms to almost every home in Ireland.

However, there may be a small number of homes that have not yet received a census form.

But, don't worry because if you haven't received your form, you can contact the CSO.

Eileen Murphy, Head of Census Administration, has thanked people for their support of the census.

"This will build a detailed account of our collective experience as a society in 2022," Eileen said.

“Your information must be recorded where you sleep. This includes everyone in places such as hotels, hospitals, prisons, student accommodation and even ships," she added.

“There are 11 questions specific to each household and a maximum of 33 questions specific to each individual in the household."

It'll take no more than 20-30 minutes to complete, for the average household.

If you're looking for any help or information about how to complete the Census form visit census.ie.

And the CSO will be operating a helpline today from 11am to 6pm on 0818 2022 04.
