The 1911 Census of Ireland
This is the most recent census available to research. At the time Ireland was one country under The United Kingdom, and the census was organised from Dublin. For that reason Dublin holds the origianl census returns covering all of the island.
For researchers, though, the returns may be accessed and searched on the http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ website.
This is one of the best places to begin research into your family history as it gives family groups in one place. there are, of course, a large number of exceptions to all this.
