I haven't come across them. I do know that only some DEDs are available as the rest were destroyed. Very few altogher. They are available in the Natiional Archives, but I didn't think they were online.

the 1911 census records are coming online. See note on the page at

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/help/history.html

re the other census records :

"The original census returns for 1861 and 1871 were destroyed shortly after the censuses were taken. Those for 1881 and 1891 were pulped during the First World War, probably because of the paper shortage. The returns for 1821, 1831, 1841 and 1851 were, apart from a few survivals, notably for a few counties for 1821 and 1831, destroyed in 1922 in the fire at the Public Record Office at the beginning of the Civil War."

I thought the Census Returns were online?

Thanks for the replies however.

The statistical information from those censuses does survive - on the CSO website but the returns, for the most part, do not.

Origins.net has a list of heads of household only for Dublin city for the 1851. It's subscription access.
