Roman Catholic Parish Records for Cashel and Emly

The National Library has reopened public access to its microfilm copies of the registers for some areas which have been closed for 15 years because in 1992 the Catholic Bishop of Cashel and Emly claimed copyright. Since then, data from the records could only be obtained by paing for a search at the diocese's heritage centre. This decision affects records in an area covering half of Co Tipperary and a large part of East Limerick. The registers were microfilmed in the 1950s and 1960s
