HC Deb 05 June 1873 vol 216 c514
SIR FREDERICK W. HEYGATE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, In what order the detailed report of the late Census of Ireland will be published, and within what period the whole may be expected to be completed?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON,

in reply, said, he had ascertained from the Census Commissioners that the counties were being published in alphabetical order, beginning with the Province of Leinster, and going on to the Provinces of Munster, Ulster, and Connaught. Seven counties had been printed, and two were passing through the press. The Commissioners expected that the principal work of the Census would be completed about the middle of 1874.
