Publication of the Joint Census - Amendment 2
Leave out all after ‘population levels’ and insert:
‘but well above the lowest ever population levels that were recorded in 1961 which were only lower than the all-island low of 1926; further notes the findings in relation to the allisland economy whereby over 18,000 workers travel both ways across the border and a further 6,000 travel to Great Britain for work on a weekly and daily basis; recognises that joint census publications can help identify shared challenges and opportunities for policy and decision making on these islands; and calls on the Minister for the Economy to take stock of how the flow of workers throughout these islands can benefit Northern Ireland’s economy.’
