This has been a VERY long time coming. It's 15 years since we last had a release of historic census data when the 1911 Census went on line. Revolution and wars meant that Ireland didn't have a census in 1916 or 1921 and the 1926 Census is the first census of the Irish Free State.
I can't wait to get stuck into it.
