A press release from the National Archives says Antrim, Down and Kerry will launch at 6pm this evening.

There's also a bit more info on future 1911 releases:

Donegal, Cork, Wexford, Galway and Offaly (King's) will be released in March.  Monthly releases will follow, with several counties in each batch, until July when all of 1911 should have been released.

1901 will then follow.

I'm told that 1901 will probably be released in one fell-swoop, rather than county by county as originally planned.

Thanks for the update could be a late night.

Kerry is 50% of my research so 100's of searches to do

Could be a lot of us on the site tonight!

[GAJM]

Hope it can handle us all at the same time   

have to say a nice xmas present for anyone researching these counties

I don't think I'll find any of my rellies in the new counties
but best of luck with your searches all.

Just the usual National Archives delayed release- expect to wait a while before the next batch of counties appear.

Aghadowey - is that based on the experience of the project so far, or have you got insider information

Based on their previous performance.
