This for the 1901/11 census.  You can view the originals for free.

For what?  If you know your county, have a look at resources on the Rootschat board. Family Search has some parish and BMD indexes. There are others - it all depends on what you seek.

As you have posted here presumably they are in Mayo.

You could look at the resources section on this forum.

http://mayo.rootsireland.ie/  is a pay site but there is a free index.

As I said Family Search may have some information too.

Civil registration did not begin until 1864 - before that it is Parish records so you would need to know townland /parish information.
