In order to ensure geographic coverage, an initial set of random clusters (or sampling areas) was selected from the GeoDirectory. This is a comprehensive list of private households in the Republic of Ireland; it is compiled jointly by the Ordnance Survey and An Post. The initial sample of areas was then employed to generate a random telephone sample using random digit dialling (RDD). Using this system, different phone numbers for each month are selected. The matching stem of each phone number is marked up on a file, thus ensuring that phone numbers can not be used again for at least another two years. As a result, there are no duplicates in the HRB dataset for this survey. Telephone interview ISSDA may only supply data for use in the EEA and adequacy decision countries.
