Beautiful view in county Limerick 💚

Rolling green fields, grazing cattle, and the majestic Galtees watching over it all 🌿⛰️

This is the kind of view that makes you slow down and take it all in. Captured in Glenbrohane on the edge of the Limerick/Cork border, it’s a beautiful reminder of the peaceful countryside, rich farmland, and stunning landscapes that make Ballyhoura Country so special.

Whether you’re exploring the Ballyhoura trails, taking the scenic route, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of rural Ireland, moments like this are never far away 💚

This is Ireland Unrushed.

Have you searched the 1926 Census yet and who have you found? Exciting for many of us to be able to see our grandparents or parents on record. The site is working very well so far and the heat map is a great visual for the concentration of surnames in certain areas.

Interest in the first census records for the independent Irish State is expected to be huge

Not long now ….

A new chapter in Irish history is about to open.

The Census 1926 – the first census of the Irish Free State – will be publicly available on 18 April 2026, inviting you to explore how people lived, worked, and connected one hundred years ago.

More than numbers, these records tell the stories of Irish households, families, and communities during the early years of the Free State.

To mark this centenary, the National Archives of Ireland is launching a public programme, including nationwide exhibitions, a special theatrical production by Anu Productions and an RTÉ documentary exploring the human stories behind the records.

As part of the lead-up to the Census 1926 release, RTÉ published an article this week on why these records are such an important part of the Irish history 🔗 https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2026/0226/1560189-census-population-ireland-culture-trends/

Whether you’re a genealogist, academic, or curious about your family tree, this centenary celebration reveals not only data but the lives behind the data.
