Interviewer instructions
Question 4. From the responses to question 4, it is possible to build up a picture of the changing family situation in Ireland. The multiple categories will enable families in multi-generational households to be accurately distinguished. To facilitate this, the category of grandparent is being included for the first time. Information in relation to families which have been reconstituted following the break-up of previous marriages can also be determined. The results based on the responses to this question will allow the changing nature of families in Ireland to be charted.
