Details of 100-plus Cork households stolen

Details of more than 100 Cork households have been stolen following a break-in of a census enumerator’s car earlier this month.

The Central Statistics Office has written to the households affected but says it is unlikely the information stolen would be of interest “to anyone other than census staff”.

A spokesperson for the CSO said the information was contained in an Enumerator Record Book (ERB) which was stolen from a car at the Red Cow Park & Ride in Dublin, along with a high-visibility jacket; maps; and a number of blank, undelivered census forms.
