I received this information from Findmypast today:
============================
Now available to search on Findmypast, the Ireland Census of 1926 may transform your family history research. This valuable collection of 2.9 million records offers a complete snapshot of the Irish Free State a century ago.
While patchy record availability can make Irish genealogy trickier, this complete census will help you to understand 20th century Irish ancestors like never before.
Ireland Census 1926
As per Ireland's 100-year privacy rule, the 1926 Irish Census has just been made available to the public. We're delighted to announce that we've made transcriptions of the 2,972,363 census returns available to explore on Findmypast.
