The most effective way to register your objection to CACI’s involvement with the census is by withholding your cooperation. Most forms of non-cooperation are perfectly legal. If practised widely enough, legal non-cooperation would make it difficult or impossible for the census to be carried out.

Prosecution of people who do not wish to be prosecuted and understand their rights would be very difficult indeed. A court would be extremely unlikely to convict anyone simply because the Central Statistics Office had no record of receiving their completed form. Prosecutions from previous census relied on offenders providing statements admitting their offence.

You and your census form

DON’T RUSH to complete and return your census form. There is no
statutory limit to the amount of time you can take to fill it in.
DON’T FILL IT IN ONLINE.
DON’T TELL CENSUS WORKERS whether you have or have not received your
census form, whether you have or have not filled it in or intend to fill
it in, whether you are or are not the “householder.”
DON’T TELL CENSUS WORKERS your name.
DO REMOVE ALL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION from your census form if you
intend to return it uncompleted (perhaps with a message saying why you
are doing so). You must remove (cut out, don’t just black out) the
codes, address and Internet Questionaire Access Code from the front page
(or just remove the front page) and remove the bar codes and
alpha-numeric codes from the bottom of every page. Returning a blank
census form is not by itself illegal. But if you don’t eventually
provide answers to the census questions, you may be committing an act of
civil disobedience and, in the unlikely event of being detected,
prosecuted and convicted, you could be fined and acquire a criminal
record.
DO CONTINUE YOUR NON-COOPERATION even if you send in your census form
(whether blank or filled in).

After Census Day – What to do

Follow-up will continue for many weeks after Census Day. The responses
that we suggest are all completely legal.
Shortly after Census Day, census staff working on the “Census Coverage
Survey” and the “Census Quality Survey” will call on selected
households. This is a check on census coverage, not a check on whether
you have completed your form. Don’t tell them whether or not you have
received a census form. Don’t tell them anything about yourself or you
neighbourhood. You aren’t obliged to answer the door to them, but if you
do speak to them you might wish to tell them that, in protest at CACI’s
involvement with the census, you are refusing to give any assistance to
the census that you aren’t legally required to give.’

If they believe that the information you provided on your census form
was inaccurate or incomplete, census staff may visit you to check it.
You are legally obliged to answer the questions on the census form fully
and truthfully (except for the question on religion, which is optional),
but you are not obliged to discuss your answers with census staff.
If they believe that you haven’t returned your census form, you may get
a visit from an enumerator. You aren’t obliged to answer the door to
them, but if you do, whether or not you have returned you form:

DON’T confirm your name, or tell them the name of anyone else living at
your address, or confirm that you are the “householder”.
DON’T say anything to confirm or deny their belief that you haven’t
returned your form.
DON’T sign anything or agree to anything.
DON’T complete your form in the presence of census staff
Census staff are just doing a job. Please be courteous towards them.
Feel free to tell them about the links between the census, CACI and Abu
Ghraib. If you wish, give them one of our leaflets and direct them to
the website.

Fewer than 20 census avoiders fined

Paul Philpott
Tribune.ie August 17 2008  original article

Fewer than 20 people have been prosecuted for failing to complete the
2006 census form despite warnings of a zero-tolerance approach for
non-compliance and hefty fines for offenders.

Under the Statistics Act 1993 it is an offence to not take part in a
census of population with offenders liable to be summoned to appear
before a District Court judge.

Prior to the 2006 census, there was a sustained media campaign to
encourage full participation and warnings that non-compliance could
result in fines of up to €25,000. However a Central Statistics Office
(CSO) spokesman has revealed that they only sought to prosecute people
in “extreme circumstances” with nobody receiving fines anywhere near the
maximum €25,000.

He indicated that the average penalty accruing from these convictions
was “definitely no more than a few hundred euro,” and the only official
figures available for non-compliance was the total number of successful
prosecutions, fewer “than 20 persons”. He added: “If a person fails to
respond, the field supervisor will usually be able to fix the problem by
explaining to that individual the importance of compliance and
cooperation. In most instances, this provides a solution and no further
action is required. In some of these cases, however, a regional
supervisor will be required to solve the issue.

“In a very tiny minority of cases, an individual may consistently fail
or refuse to assist … In such cases, which are extremely rare, the
last resort is to prosecute the individual.” He also admitted the CSO
keeps “no record of cases where non-compliance doesn’t ultimately lead
to conviction”.

While 2006′s census recorded the country’s highest population in 150
years of 4.1 million, over 43,000 respondents failed to state their
country of nationality. That amounts to more than one per cent of
respondents.

As of last week, the CSO has begun requesting the assistance of citizens
in formulating appropriate questions for the planned Census of
Population in 2011.
Irish Declaration of Right of Refusal Petition – PLEASE SIGN

We, the Irish people declare our sovereign right to refuse and reject
all negotiations and contracts entered into by the Government of
Ireland, with the IMF and the ECB as representative of the wishes of the
Irish Nation and its people.

We did not give our Government a mandate to sacrifice the economic and
social well-being and resources of the Irish people nor surrender the
sovereignty of the Irish Nation, to external powers and authorities. We
did not give our government any authority to economically enslave the
Irish people for decades to come. We hereby declare that we do not
accept the terms, conditions nor binding status of any contracts entered
into with the IMF/ECB that do not represent the will of the Irish
people.

Furthermore, we claim a right as a free and sovereign nation to remove
from public office the current elected Dail representatives who refuse
to listen to the Irish people and who did not act in our best economic
and social interests. The Government of Ireland and its representatives
in these negotiations, have acted solely and exclusively to protect the
financial interests of International Banking Institutions, Bond Holders
and Market Investors while refusing to consider the basic needs,
interests or economic future of the Irish Nation and its people. These
negotiations have amounted to political and economic treason by any
definition and the senior Irish negotiators who signed these contracts
have betrayed the sovereignty of the Irish Nation.

We therefore declare that all contracts negotiated and signed in the
name of the Irish people in this regard be rendered null and void as
having no legal, economic, social or moral basis and must be prevented
from implementation.

We, the Irish People, hereby reclaim our right to self-governance
without any foreign interference. The current Government has lost its
legitimacy to govern in the interests of the Irish people. We will elect
only public representatives who have the political, economic and social
interests of the Irish People as their primary objective, as is our
democratic right. We demand the right to select and elect those who
qualify, right now!

As per the original Proclamation of the Irish Republic:

we declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of
Ireland, and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be
sovereign and indefeasible. From Article 6 of Bunreacht na hEireann
1937, we hereby invoke and decree, All powers of government,
legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people,
whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final
appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the
requirements of the common good.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
