Irish Census

[Kit]

I'm after the Irish census before 1901. I've found 1901 and 1911 online but can see no mention of anything else. Does anyone know if or where I might be able to find them?

I don't think any survive prior to 1901 unfortunately. It is one of the reasons that Irish research is so difficult.

There are what are called fragments.

This site explains it better than I could:
