Only parts of the early civil censuses survive. The censuses from 1821 through 1851 were mostly destroyed in the 1922 fire at the Public Record Office in Dublin. The censuses from 1861 through 1891 were destroyed by the government sometime after statistics had been compiled from them. For more information see the Family History Library reference guide ''Register of Ireland Census & Census Substitutes'' (FHL book 941.5 X23c) or see [[Ireland Census fragments available at the Family History Library]]. | Only parts of the early civil censuses survive.

The 1901 census is the first complete census available for Ireland. The 1901 and 1911 censuses are available to the public and are now [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ online], but all censuses taken since 1911 are not. The 1821 to 1851 censuses are divided by county, barony, civil parish, and townland. The 1901 and 1911 censuses are divided by county, electoral division, and townland. | The 1901 census is the first complete census available for Ireland.

Because many of the earlier censuses are not available, census substitutes are especially useful for Ireland. These include tax, religous and poll lists among others. See the below section on census substitutes for more information on census substititues. | Because many of the earlier censuses are not available, census substitutes are especially useful for Ireland.
