Researching your Irish Ancestors is getting easier!

There are some very useful sites available now to research your Irish Ancestors -
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/
This site is hosted by the Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport. At present there are 1,334,000 Church records of Baptism, Marriage and Death available to view free of charge on this website. These Church records were computerised with funding from the Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport and through the work of the Dublin Heritage Group and Kerry Genealogical Research Centre. This Department continues to work with Dublin City Public Library to bring about the completion of the computerisation of the Church records for Dublin City up to 1900. This Department is also collaborating with Carlow County Library and Cork County Library in the completion of their Church records and these records will be available to view free of charge through this site in the near future.
