Coding error - social care workers

An error has been detected in the occupation coding of social care workers in the 2006 Census. Persons who recorded their occupation as 'social care worker' were incorrectly coded as 'Social workers and probation officers'. These persons should have been coded as 'Matrons, houseparents, welfare, community and youth workers'.

Error in coding of persons with Korean nationality

Table 1 of the report "Non-Irish Nationals Living in Ireland" incorrectly distinguished South Korea in the 51-100 size category and North Korea in the 101-1,000 size category. The numbers involved were 102 and 425, respectively.

However, following re-examination of the 527 responses, it is clear that a coding error took place during the processing of the 2006 census forms. The amended figures are 122 persons who indicated a South Korean nationality and 405 persons who indicated a Korean nationality with no further indication as to whether it was South Korean or North Korean.

Accordingly South Korea should continue to be shown in 51-200 category, North Korea should be deleted from the 201-1,000 category and substituted by "Korea, not otherwise specified".
