Looking at Cill Aithnín/Killannin for 2011 the total population for the ED was 1000 and for the explicitly stated townlands was 997, so the population of Both Loiscthe Uachtair/Boliska Oughter was 3. For 2016, both Both Loiscthe Uachtair/Boliska Oughter and Leitir Fir/Letterfir are in the same

Officially townlands are not defined within county boroughs (so townlands "reappeared" in Limerick and Waterford cities in 2016, and will probably "reappear" in Galway in 2021, but will "disappear" within the expanded Cork city at the same date). This goes back to the 1898 Local Government Act

The Excel file you link to gives both 2016 and 2011 populations. For some townlands the population figures are suppressed and represented as -1, although in many cases it should be possible to infer them from the totals for Electoral Divisions and for Small Areas (statistical subdivisions of EDs

As far as I know, wards (within county boroughs) and DEDs (outside county boroughs) were both renamed as electoral divisions in 1994. One problem with the idea of "filling the gaps" in the townland map with wards is that wards, even the oldest editions we have, overlap townlands, e.g Grangegorman
