The day i posted the link here i also posted on another genealogy site the following.
"Re: the Irish Civil Records. Its very difficult for adopted people in Ireland to obtain their birth cert, so this hint might narrow things down a bit. If you know your date of birth just check what births were recorded for that day, if you have any idea what part of the country you were born in thats another clue. Many adopted children keep their forename as either their first or second forenames so thats another clue. I know details of adopted friends and using those hints i found their births on the site (they already had this info)."
The above post was deleted from that genealogy site last Tuesday. So maybe its not just a question of bank security.

I'd LOVE the details of my Irish lot to be available on line (just the year of the marriage would do!) - sadly they were Roman Catholic and were married and over here by 1860 :(
I've never used Irish civil records - do actual dates feature in online searches?

Oh no - I didn't take the entry details of my uncles, grandmother's family to get the certificates.

I think the Civil Registration started in 1865. You would need to have a good idea where your relative was born and then find out which Civil Registration District they would have been registered in - this may actually be in a different county as happened with the family I am researching. The Civil Registrations are on the Mormon Site (some of them anyway).
Is it that site that they are being removed from??
Actual dates do feature in online searches.

However the good news is as follows as suggested in todays Lost Cousins Newsletter:
Irish BMD indexes - too good to be true
The enhanced, up-to-date, indexes of Irish births, marriages, and deaths that I announced in my last newsletter have now disappeared, possibly for ever.
At the time I was a little surprised at how much modern personal data was being published (including precise birthdates), and it now seems that nobody thought to get Data Protection clearance. See this Guardian article for more details.
However the potentially more important project, to put historic birth, marriage, and death registers online is still going ahead, and a bill to put this into effect has just been published - see Claire Santry's blog for more details.

Don't forget this free website for some Irish records. www.irishgenealogy.ie/ Not all Counties covered, yet, but well worth a look.

Personal Data Removed from Irish Genealogy Site Over Security Fears
The Irish government closed part of its genealogy website on Friday, after the country's data protection commissioner warned that potentially sensitive personal details were available to all.

We have had several threads about this over the past week, so I will merge them all together.
I was very lucky and managed to get my in-laws' siblings' names and details before they closed it.
UPDATE: Threads now merged.Caroline
