There's a brief update on the forthcoming Irish 1926 census, with the Irish Cabinet being briefed today on plans to launch the digitised census online in just under a year's time on 18 April 2026.
You can read about the story at https://www.thejournal.ie/1926-census-website-digitalisation-6709077-May2025/.
Note that the surviving records are for the Free State (later to become the Republic) of Ireland, and not for Northern Ireland, the equivalent records for which from 1926 have not survived.
