A number of questions were placed on the Amárach Research
November omnibus. The omnibus survey is a syndicated survey
whereby clients can include questions within the survey.
A total sample of 1,000 was achieved with quotas set on gender,
age, social class and region to achieve a sample aligned with
national population. Due to the high proliferation of the internet
among the Irish population, the Amárach Research omnibus is
completed fully online.
