Error in coding of persons from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo
Table 18 of the report This is Ireland - Highlights from Census 2011, Part 1 distinguished 2,276 persons as being born in the Republic of the Congo; a further 425 were coded to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and included in the group Africa other.
When answering the Place of Birth question on the Census form the majority of respondents from both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo indicated that they were born in "Congo". With this information alone it was impossible to distinguish which of the two countries the person was in fact from. A similar situation arose with the nationality with the majority of respondents writing in Congolese. The coding methodology used, combined with the lack of detail in the information supplied on the form, means the results on place of birth and nationality for both countries should be treated with caution.
