The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=EUROPE

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:
http://www.groireland.ie/

The Irish 1901/1911 censuses are free at:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
[Not heard of any release dates for next census (=1926 in both Irelands)]

Most City of Dublin parish registers are free online at:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/
[There are also Carlow, Cork & Kerry OPRs there too]

Hi, a follow up to my request, I have found Anthony B Torpey birth on Family Search website in the Ireland Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958, April/June 1931 in Registration District Ennis, in District Clare Ireland. His mothers maiden name was O'reilly, the film no 257849.........would anyone have any idea please how I go about ordering a copy as I have never obtained Irish certs before? Any advice would be much appreciated.
