If you need to buy Irish BMD certs, you should be aware that both Irelands sell a cheaper version of their BMDs - technically, it is an uncertified image of the register entry, rather than the more expensive certified image (which is certified to be a true copy of the register entry). You really only need the certified version for some legal-type things, like getting a passport, etc.
