For the research room, the address i used was GROResearchRoom@welfare.ie

That was to order copies of entries from the registers from the staff in the research room.

Thank you. I’ve sent a chasing email to that address now . Hopefully I will hear from them today

Any time I ordered it was for email copies and it was a matter of days.

Thank you. I ordered on 30 June and have heard nothing. Will drop them a line.

Can someone who has ordered certs from GRO Ireland in the past few weeks tell me how long it was from submitting application for a birth record from 1930s to getting the phone call to ask for payment? And then how long for the €5.00 copy to be emailed? 

I filled in a form and emailed it to them. I had an auto response saying application received and that “We are currently experiencing a high volume of applications and as a result processing times are taking longer. Please do not send any reminders or follow up emails in relation to your original request, we will endeavour to deal with your application as quickly as possible.”

I wondered how long it is realistically to wait.

Also, how do I pay the 5 euros when I’m not based in Ireland? Can’t work out which card etc to use.

Hello, I think the top line says 'occupation of my brother James'.....do you agree?

It's just the top line I am seeking confirmation on.

NB: although the image is cropped, there are no clues above or to the right for the christian name of the brother.
