Abstract:
At the outset of this paper I should like first to thank
the President and Council of the Statistical Society for
the privilege they have accorded me by inviting me to
appear before you this evening, and secondly to apologise
for the meagre attempt to crowd into the short space of
one hour even a very brief summary of the recent Census
of Ireland. When we remember that there were issued
from the Census Office 34 separate County and County
Borough publications, each having 41 tables and ranging
in size from that of County Carlow, which contains 71
pages of the ordinary blue book size, to that of the City
and County of Cork, containing 383 pages, together with
four Provincial Summaries, and the General Report running
into 600 pages, and that every page is full of useful
and interesting statistical information, we can realise how
futile a paper, extending over even several hours, would
be in dealing with a fractional part of the published
material. I can only, therefore, bring under your notice
this evening a few leading features which, in my opinion,
are of most interest to the general community. As the
complete English and Scotch Reports are not yet published
I am unable to make any comparison with either,
and I must therefore content myself at present with comparing
the results of the 1911 Census with those of the
different Censuses extending back 70 years (1841), and
embracing seven successive intercensal periods.
