The IGRS Facebook page has just shared 272 images of the 1926 Ireland census for Fermoy originally posted on the Fermoy Facebook page apparently courtesy of one courtesy Maureen Reagan.

1926 census forms were in the warehouse at the back of the NAI last time I was on a tour they were pointed out high up on some Dekra shelving, held by the NAI on behalf of the CSO. Last update I heard was that everything that was in the warehouse was removed off site pending the rebuild and upgrade.

We decided on a war of independence instead of the census. I don't know Michael Collins couldn't have done both.
