Unlike the English census this one is free :) does not yet include all counties but see below.

Future plans
Future releases of counties will comprise:
1. Limerick, Mayo, Waterford, Armagh, Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Fermanagh, Kildare, Kilkenny and Leitrim;
2. Londonderry (Derry), Longford, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Queen’s County (Laois), Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Tyrone, Westmeath and Wicklow.
At present, we hope to be placing the first listed tranche online by mid – July, and the second tranche by end -August, but this is subject to our being satisfied that the data meets our required levels of accuracy."

As Rose says it is a great site for searching for those elusive Irish relatives and the bonus is that it's free!!!!!
The information included on there is if they can speak and read Irish & English etc., how many children they have had and how many have survived.
Can't wait for the other counties to be added, which hopefully will answer several mysteries that I have still on my tree.
