'National Library has re-opened Roman Catholic parish registers for Cashel &
Emly, Cloyne and Kerry'

The National Library of Ireland has finally re-opened public access to the
microfilms of the parish registers of the 'closed' dioceses of Cloyne, Kerry
& Cashel & Emly. For the past 16 years there has been no public access at
all to the microfilms of the registers from the diocese of Cashel & Emly and
only limited access to those for Kerry and Cloyne. The issue of access to
the microfilms for these dioceses has been a hot issue for many years now
and is one that CIGO has raised previously with the Library. The
're-opening' of these microfilms after all these years is terrific news for
those who are searching for Catholic ancestors in County Kerry and parts of
Counties Tipperary, Limerick and Cork.

I was hoping that I would live long enough for this to happen, many thanks Jill.

I will finally get to look at my Corcorans and Dwyers from the area, I am glad that I hadn't weakened and paid all that money to find out via the one officially sanctioned research centre. I hope the Mormons release their films now as well.
