WHEN WE SAID yesterday demand was expected to be ‘high’ for positions as a census enumerator, we may have been under-selling it.
It turns out an unprecedented number of people want to help the CSO distribute and collect this year’s census, though they may mainly be thinking of the €2,400 they’ll earn in that ten week period.
Applications were being accepted from 9am this morning. Yesterday the CSO had said it would take applications until this Friday – or until the number of applicants reached 15,000.
By 1pm today the number had already reached 16,000 and the CSO decided it had to close registration after just four hours. Those who had already started the process at that stage were allowed to finish their applications.
This year’s census takes place on Sunday 24 April and some 4,660 enumerators will be recruited to carry out the task.

If you are being threatened in the workplace or any other place, report them to gardai, if you get the lack of evidence reply, write up a civil proceedings charge.
Predator behaviour needs to be held accountable.
Their past history catches up, remember that warning
@Dean: The WRC won’t use voice recordings but yet will listen to them, tell the bullies that they were caught on the recordings and tell the victim how awful your experience was even in writing but yet they won’t use them. While the Gardaí would, I think. What use is the WRC when getting the Gardaí would mean less hassle in most cases?
@Dean: I suppose the best way is to report them to the Gardaí first and if there is a case then sue them in the case with emotional distress?
Improvements needed in paperwork in WRC – lost submissions and correspondence and incorrect recording and huge delays in judgements. Also system of applying for adjournments deeply flawed and one sided. Awards when they are made are reducing so for the few who manage to take a case and win, it is not worth it much of the time. Lots of legislation to protect workers but no legal aid to assist and as costs are not awarded in statutory employment cases have to pay your own costs even if you win. Makes taking a case impossible for most. Much of the trade union assistance is not up to standard.
Good.
Everyone should feel respected and secure in the workplace.
