Irish records can be very difficult to find
if you go to www.familysearch.org you will find some irish records on there

if you go onto their record pilot search you will find some civil registrations


If it is the first time you have used this you will be asked to download macromedia to enable you to look at the records

try www.irish-roots.ie as well

I don't believe you will find any on here. However, another member has a thread on here with useful Irish sites. I will try to find it and bump it up

In the meantime you might like to look at:-

Family Search - has Irish Civil Registration Records

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=allCollections;r=1
(Scroll down to Ireland)

National Archives Ireland - has Irish 1911 Census on-line

http://www.nationalarchives.ie/

Genes don't actually hold any records themselves - they just direct you to other sites. I wouldn't pay more than the normal membership on here. You can get better value for searching on other sites such as Ancestry, Findmypast etc. I don't think there are too many Irish records online but I may be wrong as I've never had to use Irish records.
