Totals | 141 wards | 24 wards | 100% |
The inner city area (Areas 1 and 2) was undersampled and Corporation housing estates
(Area 5) were oversampled; but the selection of wards generally parallels the social areas
suggested by the NESC study. The survey results also paralleled the distribution of
occupations in Dublin, as described in the 1971 Census of population (CSO 1975:147). Both
surveys categorized occupations according to the same modified Hall-Jones scale (CSO
1975:vii; see also Reid 1977:44-45). The IPA categories could be collapsed as following
(with the parallel Census results in brackets): Professional 13.1% [12.62], other
non-manual 40.5% [41], skilled working-class 18.4% [24], and semi-skilled and unskilled
28% [22.25]. As with the geographical sampling, there was a slight over-sampling of the
more deprived socio-economic groups.
A preliminary account of the survey results can be found in Litton (1973). The raw data
was subsequently made available to the author for analysis, which was recoded. While 500
cases is less than the desired number, it is sufficient to shed light on beliefs regarding
brokerage as well as clientelist behavior. All tables are significant to at least .05.
