The following excerpt is from the ireland.anglican.org website:
The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers has again been extensively revised and updated, and in a collaborative project between the RCB Library and the Irish Genealogical Research Society (IGRS), it now includes live links to parish register sources – copies, transcripts and indexes – available online.
The IGRS was founded in 1936 as a direct response to the destruction of the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI) in June 1922 during the civil war. It was the world’s first society dedicated to the study of Irish genealogy. 2016 marks its 80th anniversary and this collaborative project is one of the ways the Society is celebrating its important milestone.
The re–launched List represents months of painstaking volunteer work by IGRS Fellow Claire Santry and should significantly assist researchers by providing them with a search tool that links easily to online information.
