This reminder comes from IrishCentral:

"...A plethora of Irish genealogy records has been made available online thanks to a joint initiative between the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.

A wealth of historical registers of marriages, births and deaths are available to view for free on the website Irish Genealogy and covers births from 1864 to 1918, deaths from 1878 to 1968, and marriages from 1864 to 1943..."

Many of these records were first made available--online and free--in 2016, and more were added later. So while this isn't "new" news, it's a good memory-jogger.
