The 1880 USA census and both the 1881 British and Canadian Censuses may be viewed here: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp
Although you are not able to view the original pages, the information has been transcribed.
The Dublin 1911 census may be viewed here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ and other counties for Ireland are gradually coming on line.
I hope that this helps,

Online versions of all available censuses for England and Wales can be viewed free of charge by visiting the National Archives, the Society of Genealogists or any public library that subscribes to a suitable online service. See the website of your local library service.

FreeCen is a transcription project from the same group as FreeBMD:
http://freecen.rootsweb.com/
Some years and parts of the country have almost 100% coverage, others have barely anything, but as it's free it's always worth trying first.
