Hi All,

Please sign the petition for early release of the 1926 Irish census.

Link: <<--snip-->>

We only have the 1901 and 1911, the rest were destroyed in fire or pulped during the world war. The 1926 census is also the first census taken as a free state. The law is currently states a 100 years must pass before releasing this information, its an old law and was put in place as rarely people lived to 100 years. We still have people alive today which were around for the 1911 census possibly even the 1901.

If you agree the please sign the petition.

Thanks in Advance

Locking the thread, this forum isn't for running political debates (in this case changing the rules regarding census releases) but for debating history and heritage.
