Dave, Thanks for the information and the link. The big problem appears to be how to access these records. It sounds like a great project for digitalization... Cliff.

There is a computerisation project underway for these records (and, yes, I'd rather have digitisation!). It is coordinated by Commander Cosbie who lives in Cobh, County Cork. I'm not sure where his project is up to but his contact details are: The Director Cobh Genealogical Project, Merville, Cobh, Co Cork mervillecobh@eircom.net The RCB Library in Dublin holds a large number of parish records but does not undertake research and probably does not have the resources to digitise even a fraction of them. Many are also on microfilm at the National Archives, Dublin.
