<br />This question refers to your place of usual residence at the time of the Census. If you have lived at this address for a continuous period of at least 12 months before Census Night, or have arrived at this address in the 12 month period before Census Night with the intention of staying here for at least one year you should mark box 1 (here). If your usual residence is not here but is elsewhere in Ireland (including Northern Ireland) you should mark box 2 and write in your full address. If your usual residence is elsewhere abroad you should mark box 3 and give the country of usual residence.</p>
<p>The general guideline is that a person's place of usual residence is where he/she spends most of his/her daily night rest. The following specific guidelines should be used:</p>
<ul class="b1">
<li>Those away from home during the week who return to the family home at weekends should consider the family home as their place of usual residence.</li>
<li>Primary and secondary students who are boarding away from home, and third level students at college or university, should consider the family home as their place of usual residence.</li>
<li>If a person has spent or intends to spend 12 months or more in an institution then the institution is that person's place of usual residence.</li>
<li>If a person regularly lives in more than one residence during the year then the place where he/she spends the majority of the year should be chosen as his/her place of usual residence.</li>
