The fire in the Four Courts building in 1922 destroyed most of these earlier records. There is only one General Registry Office and PRONI for Northern Ireland.. You can get a full copy of the certificate or a copy of the entry in the Church Registry. This is now 6 euro's, just checked. The family search site is constantly adding as it is transcribed by volunteers and the LDS. The fire destroyed most of the registrations so for early ones you can be lucky with Church records. Catholic records up to 1880 can be found at the National Library.
