Finding Birth Certificate

Hi, I posted on this website years ago and you helped me find my grandmother's family and am very grateful for that. It lead to me finding living relatives in Ireland and eventually going to Ireland and meeting them. It truly was an amazing experience. 

Recently, I have been working on getting dual citizenship. I have everything but my grandmother's birth certificate. I write to HSE and sent them a payment, but it was returned. I can't seem to find a birth certificate. Does anyone have any suggestions? I will be going to Ireland in August and hope to have this done before then. My grandmother was born in Limerick in 1901. Her name was Catherine O'shaughnessy and her parents were Patrick and Sarah. She had an older brother  John and several younger sisters. 

Thank you,  Jennifer Lyons Langlais

Please see attached in relation to citizenship.
