Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 September 2006
872 Ms C. Murphy asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if figures released by the Central Statistics Office in July 2006 via the Census 2006 Preliminary Report will be used by his Department for any reason; if so, what the figures will be used for; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29299/06]
View answerI can advise that my Department has, from time to time, used relevant statistics and data compiled by the Central Statistics Office as appropriate to our policy goals and operational needs across the Communications, Energy, Fisheries and Earth Screening Sectors. As the Deputy will appreciate, relevant statistics and data sets are a useful resource and I am pleased that the relevant data arising from Census 2006, is available in the context of the Departments ongoing responsibilities.
