Dear Zachary Christman,

The Enumeration Districts for Ireland are available as vector boundaries
(in DXF and SHP formats) from the Ordnance Survey of Ireland:
http://www.osi.ie/mapping/digital/index.shtml

There are also various resellers of the Irish ED boundaries, sometimes
also integrated with the census data, such as Gamma Ltd (
http://www.gamma.ie/ ) and ESBI Computing (
http://www.esbic.ie/geobusiness/products/data_products.htm )

Hope this is a little help - I am not aware of a free online source of
these digital boundaries.

Greetings,
a colleague of mine is in search of census information for Ireland, with
shapefiles comparable to the TIGER files of the United States.  Is such
a thing publicly available?  I have browsed the Central Statistics
Office (www.cso.ie) and found tables sorted by sections of cities, but
no delimitations of these regions.

If anyone has any ideas or sources, we would be very grateful.
