:'''Update'''

Due to privacy restrictions, birth records from the past 100 years (after 1915), marriage records from the past 75 years (after 1940) and death records from the past 50 years (after 1965) are not available.
:*Updated 01 February 2021March 2022, additional records have been released, with '''births''' to '''19201922''', '''marriages''' to '''19451947''', and '''deaths''' to '''19701972'''.

*[http://registers.nli.ie/ National Library of Ireland: free online Catholic Parish Register images: Baptisms and marriages to 1880 and others]. Introduced 8 July 2015. These images are not indexed by name, so you will need to know the relevant parish. Although the description says the records are Baptisms and marriages only, it appears other records are included also.
:'''Update''' October 2016. These records are also available on [[Findmypast]], a pay website, as Ireland Roman Catholic Parish Registers Browse (located in Life events (BMDs)/Parish Registers). Significantly it is stated "we have further indexed the records, which means that they are available for '''search by name'''". Findmypast also has databases Ireland Roman Catholic Parish Baptisms, Marriages, Burials (3 separate databases), (located in Life events (BMDs)/Parish Registers) and Ireland Roman Catholic Parish Congregational Records, located in Life Events (BMDs)/Religious Ceremonies, with images, all sourced from National Library of Ireland, (and with links to the image on NLI Registers website).
