Good resource but it's a hard enough slog looking through the pages with some of the handwriting - you'd need to have a reasonable idea of what you're looking for

You don't seem to be able to download an entire microfilm either, only individual pages

Great, great resource.

But not for the casual researcher. The filter only allows you to select dates, when you would really need names. Place names are missing most of the time, as usual, in Mayo which makes things harder, but still if you are looking for something specific it it a great facility.

Looks like the PP in Skryne in 1870 was drunk most of the time.

Filters?? I must have another look at it, all I saw was scans of pages
