58 Mr. Boyle asked the Taoiseach the population according to the most recent census of population of each island, contrasting these figures with the levels found at the previous census. [14430/03]
There were 9,280 persons enumerated on offshore islands according to the 1996 Census of Population. The population of each island is set out, together with the corresponding population for 1991, in a table which I propose to circulate in the Official Report. The corresponding information from the 2002 census will be available on 3 July.
