Steven, Are Limerick records available at the National Library? Are these "closed" records now available from the Latter Day Saints library as well? Thanks.

For the past 16 years there has been no public access at all to the microfilms of the registers from the diocese of Cashel & Emly and only limited access to those for Kerry and Cloyne. The issue of access to the microfilms for these dioceses has been a hot issue for many years now and is one that CIGO has raised previously with the Library. The 're-opening' of these microfilms after all these years is terrific news for those who are searching for Catholic ancestors in County Kerry and parts of Counties Tipperary, Limerick and Cork.
