Is there equivalent records to our 1939 records in Ireland
Via AI:
No, there isn't a single, exact equivalent to the UK's 1939 National Register in the Irish Republic because it was a neutral country during WWII and didn't implement a similar, nationwide system for that specific purpose. However, for Northern Ireland, a register was created, but it has not been published or digitized.

Thanks for that Is there a Free births Deaths and Marriages that I can access to find out how many children they have and whether they married
-
"and whether they married"
You give their date of marriage as 9.9.1936
-
Their marriage certificate is here on Irish Genealogy - free to search

Available civil records - births to 1924, marriages to 1949, deaths to 1974.
Or did you mean the children of Martin and Helena's marriages?

Looking at the record, one witness at the 1936 marriage - Cornelia Gilligan. Helena's father Thomas Gilligan - a clerk. (at reply #4)
1911 census

Helen born 15 October 1909.

As the marriage was 1936 there is the possibility that any children could still be living
-
The father of Helen - Thomas Gilligan married Mary Frances Smyth - 17 May 1906.

Brilliant Thanks every one I have found out that Martin and Helena had at least two children who might still be alive
If the are still living in Ireland where might I be able to find those records

You can find indexes to the bmds for the counties now known as the Republic of Ireland up to 1958 on Ancestry, FindMyPast and Familysearch.
After that, you can pay for searches and copy records in the GRO by email.
