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.

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.
