Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 January 2026
1597. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Social Protection with regard to his responsibility for the General Register Office, when the digitisation of death registrations from 1864-1871 will be completed and made available online. [2174/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe General Register Office (GRO) is the central repository for records relating to births, stillbirths, adoptions, marriages, civil partnerships and deaths in Ireland.
The computer system which holds and processes civil registrations in the GRO, the Civil Registration Computer System (CRCS), is being upgraded at present. Along with other work, it is hoped to complete the digitisation of the deaths registered from 1864 to 1870 and make these records available online on [www.irishgenealogy.ie] later in 2026.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
