Are you saying that someone visiting the National Library will now be able to search these records? What if you cannot get to Ireland how does this help you? Are these records that previously were not available to The Tipperary Heritage Center in Tipperary Town? Can we now request records from either the Library or the Center that they didn't have access to before? I have paid for and received records from the Heritage Center in Ireland but they were unable t locate some of the records I needed. I am hoping this is an addition to their library of records.
