The census will take place on Sunday evening April 3rd after being postponed last year due to Covid-19. Travellers and Roma organisations have raised a question about ethnicity for many years.
The first question about travellers’ ethnicity emerged in the 2006 census. Roma representatives in Ireland welcomed the inclusion of their ethnic group.
