Ann Marie,
For Catholic parish records you can use this site to see what is on-line, parish by parish, and where the records can be accessed. There are still a few parishes whose records have not been put on-line and where the parish priest holds the only copy.

There are also parishes where some sites have more records than others. As an example, Saul in Co Down has records from 1785 onwards but the national library site only has them from 1868. However the UHF has the earlier records:

For civil records, Births 1864 – 1919, Marriages 1845 – 1944 and deaths 1878 – 1968 (or thereabouts) are on-line free on the irishgenealogy site, those after are not. For deaths 1864 to 1877 you still need to order them from GRO Roscommon though they should be available free eventually on irishgenealogy.
Records for Northern Ireland, 1922 onwards are on a separate site: GRONI.
Thank you, Elwyn. This is very helpful.
Regards,
Ann Marie
