Ancestry Irish Records

What exactly are their Irish records?

I do need Irish records, but it depends on what they are as to whether the £24 is worth it or not.

I suppose considering I've got back to the 1850s, the pre-1837 records will be of use to me aswell, but I'd still like to know what they mean by "Irish records" before I get the subscription.

Like very other site that says they have Irish records, their coverage is going to be full of holes.

Mind you, they have far more than anybody except Roots Ireland. If you think £24 is expensive try that mob who charge £5 a record.

I'm not saying it's expensive, I'm just thinking more along the lines of whether it's a waste or not.

They do have a fair amount of stuff though, and like you said, they're not as expensive as the other lot.

Thanks for the links, it looks like the extra cash is definitely worth it when combined with the pre-1837 records.
