Two million census forms to be delivered

MORE THAN 5,000 census enumerators from all walks of life will begin distributing almost two million Census 2011 forms today.

More than 15,000 people who said they were available to work 25 hours a week applied for the job and all were interviewed by senior supervisors recruited previously.

Assistant director of the Central Statistics Office, Aidan Punch, said more than 600 people who joined the 5,500-strong temporary field force came directly off the Live Register.
