Publication of the Joint Census
That this Assembly welcomes the Ireland and Northern Ireland: A joint census publication 2021-22 which provides analysis across a range of topics in areas such as demographics, households, religion, ethnicity, place of birth, health, economic status, education, and housing; notes that according to the joint census publication the island's population, while growing to 7.1 million, the largest level since 1851, remains below pre-famine population levels; further notes the findings in relation to the all-island economy whereby over 18,000 workers travel both ways across the border for work on a daily basis; recognises that joint census publications can help identify shared challenges and opportunities for policy and decision making; and calls on Executive departments to take stock of these findings.
