https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/ (https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/) civil births, marriages and deaths all free from start of registration up to the usual 100,75,50 year privacy cut-off  (approx) with register images - all that's not included is deaths from 1864 to 1870

The only qualification I would add is that records post partition in 1921 for counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone should instead be sought on the website of the General Register Office Northern Ireland (GRONI). Unlike the "irishgenealogy" website, GRONI records are pay to view.  The same sort of privacy rules apply to their availability online.

Just to clarify, looking up people in the index at GRONI is free.

Thanks.
. My problem is that I don't know where the events took place,, the only information is from England census records where it just says b Ireland. 
Also no place to enter a middle name. I will try though.

If no success, consider posting details on the forum, our heads are all wired differently and I never cease to be amazed how quickly folk can find stuff.  :)

If birth was between 1864 (start of civil registration) and 1881 then check Family Search collection. Put in name and then Ireland for place. Press 'collection button' (upper left) then under births, marriages, deaths select 'Ireland births and baptisms 1620-1881.'
Will show middle name and both parents, unless illegitimate. Place listed may be incorrect (the reasons for this are complicated) but once you have a possible entry then use Irish Genealogy site to find actual registration for full details).
