Yes and it is 10 per record to see the whole record and unfortunately the index only shows the name you searched so it is at best "a turkey shoot". I think for the fee they should provide more info in the index so you have a better chance of selecting the correct individual. Hopefully when all counties are online the prices will adjust.

Uh, what am I not understanding here? I registered at the Roscommon site and got this message when I tried to do a search: "Thank you for registering with the Irish Familiy History Foundation. You may now access the free search and can login again using the email address and password you supplied. To view an individual detail genealogy record you will need to purchase credit at a cost of ?10.00 per record. These online databases are an invaluable source in helping you trace your Irish Ancestors. " You have to "purchase credit" at 10 Euros per record in order to do a "free" search? Whaaaaat?
