The General Register Office of Ireland has announced that its Research Rooms in Dublin's Werburgh Street will be closed for six weeks, with immediate effect.
The closure is to facilitate urgent repair works.
Usual service (walk-in service operates only on Tuesdays) will be resumed on Tuesday 13 August. In the meantime, GRO staff will continue to offer a full Monday to Friday email service, allowing researchers to request searches of Ireland's civil registration records and/or photocopies of birth, marriage and death register entries.
Full details are on the Irish Government website.
