    I picked this link up on reddit
    NCG Online Atlas Portal

    Here we provide users access to two online historic atlases : The Irish Famine Population Data Atlas 1841-2002 and The Atlas of Irish Famine Data 1841 - 1851.
    Irish Population Change Atlas.
    Atlas1.jpg The Irish famine population atlas provides population data for all 32 counties within the Island of Ireland from 1841 to 2002. Data is available at Electoral Division level, at a consistent set of 3432 EDs, which is based on the 1851 Electoral Division boundaries.The data used in this population atlas is from 16 censuses, taken in both the Republic and the North of Ireland between 1841 and 2002.
    The above online atlas can also be viewed at: www.airo.ie!
    Irish Famine Data Atlas.
    Atlas2.jpg The Irish famine is a key event in Irish history. This online Atlas of Irish Famine Data provides users with access to population and agricultural data for Ireland for this period. Using data from the Census of Population 1851 and the Agricultural Census of 1841 users can examine aspects of the Irish human and physical landscape at this time in Irish history.

    What's fascinating to me about it is the urbanisation of even the most rural counties. Thanks for the link!
