The information you give us means we can create a very accurate picture of Ireland, our lives, our economy, our health and our happiness.
If you are asked, please take part in a CSO household survey and help to plan for everyone's future in Ireland.
The CSO has a field staff of 10 field co-ordinators and 100 interviewers who conduct household surveys throughout every county in Ireland every week of the year.
The field staff interviews about 3,000 households nationwide every week, using Blaise, a Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) package, on tablet computers.
The household survey information that they collect is absolutely vital to planning for the present and future needs of everyone in Ireland. The statistics that you help to compile enables the CSO to measure our country's progress on important social and economic issues, such as employment, poverty, childcare, health and crime.

Being a survey interviewer for the CSO is a rewarding, social and flexible role. A CSO Interviewer is the main contact person for several households taking part in CSO surveys, explaining the purpose and importance of the data being collected and how it is used across all localities and areas of society.
Survey Interviewers are a valuable part of the CSO Household Surveys team, key to recording vital information about the economic and social situation of real people in Ireland. With the help of Survey Interviewers, the CSO tells the true and accurate picture of life in Ireland. Learn more about the role of a CSO Survey Interviewer in this video.
