147 Mr. Connaughton asked the Taoiseach the overall cost of the most recent census of population; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16608/02]
Census 2002 is projected to cost about €44 million. This includes an estimated €8 million in respect of the cost of postponing the census from 2001 to 2002 because of the foot and mouth disease situation in the country in 2001.
