As has been pointed out, the General Register Office research room is at Joyce House in Lombard Street. There are two different sorts of fees charged related to serarching the index books to births, deaths and marriages. You pay a fee to have a look at the index books, either pay by the book or pay by the day. Once you find an entry in the index book, you fill out a request and they will look up the entry in a register and make a photocopy. There is a limit of five photocopies a day. You can save money, and time, by doing your index searches before you leave home using microfilm from the LDS, or by going around the corner to the Gilbert Library where they have the index books on microfilm and there is no research fee, but you must get a Dublin City Archives Researchers card.
