One month after their release, and following more than 40 million unique visits, Ireland’s landmark 1926 Census records have generated unprecedented public engagement and highlighted the enduring interest in the social history of early independent Ireland.

To examine the significance and research potential of the records, University College Cork hosted a one-day public symposium on 25 May 2026 exploring the first full census conducted in independent Ireland.
