Problem with Irish Census Website
The Irish National Archives have updated their website for accessing all the available Irish census records. The new location looks great and gathers in one place a broad swathe of valuable documents.
However, as a consequence, all the links to Irish Census records in FamilySearch no longer function correctly!
Is there an awareness of this? Are there any plans to implement some form of a mass correction that will relink all existing records in FamilySearch.

Thank you, John.

@John Curran FYI - I don't know if NAI has pushed a change or if FS has managed a redirect, but the URLs I've attached as sources in the FS tree are working again this afternoon.

You are indeed correct, it looks like original Irish census website was restored (in addition to leaving the new updated site in place) and that has all the FamilySearch links working again.
Unfortunately, the problem looks set to return in coming months. The notice below is a banner headline on the old Irish Census Site indicating that the old site will disapear soon.

Way above my paygrade @John Curran. I'm not staff or a mod, just a user of the websites. I've reported; that's all I can do.

Understood @Áine Ní Donnghaile. Hopefully it will be picked up by someone who can take action before the full switch to the new Census Website in implemented.
