[BUG] Direct table links redirect to homepage instead of opening table

[bbrhuft]

Describe the bug

Direct links to specific CSO PxStat tables do not reliably open the requested table. Instead, the browser redirects back to the data.cso.ie homepage.

This appears to be the same or a closely related issue to the one originally reported here: Direct links to a table do not work in Firefox #798, but I am seeing it in Edge, Firefox and Chrome, not only Firefox.

Example affected URL:

https://data.cso.ie/table/NDQ07

To Reproduce

1. Open a new browser tab in Edge, Firefox or Chrome.
2. Paste the following URL into the address bar:
   https://data.cso.ie/table/NDQ07
3. Press Enter.
4. The browser redirects to the data.cso.ie homepage instead of opening table NDQ07.

Expected behaviour

The direct table URL should open the requested PxStat table, rather than redirect to the data.cso.ie homepage

This is important because users need stable table-level URLs for bookmarking, sharing, citation, documentation, and reproducible workflows.

Screenshots

I can provide screenshots if useful, but the basic observed behaviour is that the address changes from:

https://data.cso.ie/table/NDQ07 to: https://data.cso.ie/

Additional context

This looks like a general deep-link, routing, or redirect issue affecting /table/{TABLECODE} URLs.

From the outside, it appears that direct navigation to /table/{TABLECODE} is not being preserved. The server or reverse proxy may be redirecting table URLs to the site root instead of allowing the PxStat application to load the requested table.
