well, I don't want to be the bearers of bad new but your search may just end there. With the destruction of four courts in Dublin in 1922, almost all of the wills and protestant church registers of baptism, marriage and burial were destroyed. It must be said that unless the local parish register is still surviving and did not send records to Four Courts, or the family concerned was that of landowners, it is extremely difficult to trace irish families. Or you could contact The Genealogical Office at 2 Kildare Street in Dublin, Ireland they have extensivd records of pedigrees, armorial bearings, wills and genealogical material dating back to the 1660s. The following is a list of addresses for the Republic of Ireland.
Registrar General of Ireland
Joyce House
8-11 Lombard Street East
Dublin 2, Ireland

Registry of Deeds
Henrietta Street
Dublin 7, Ireland

National Library of Ireland
2 Kildare Street
Dublin 2, Ireland

National Archives
Bishop Street
Dublin 8, Ireland

Also, try contacting the Registrar General of Northern Ireland for birth, marriage and death certificates. the following are useful addresses which might help you with research in Northern Ireland.

Presbyterian Historical Society of Northern Ireland
Church House
Fisherwick Place
Belfast BT1 6DW, Northern Ireland

Public Record Office of Northern Ireland
66 Balmoral Avenue
Belfast BT9 6NY, Northern Ireland

Registrar General of Northern Ireland
Fermanagh House
Ormeau Avenue
Belfast BT2 8HX, Northern Ireland

Registrar General's Office
Oxford House
49-55 Chichester Street
Belfast BT1 4HL, Northern Ireland

hopefully this will help. Will get you the addresses for offices in Scottland another time.
