I have mentioned this before before just for any new people
I have found if you fill in the form with as much information as you have, even if that is only a name; then enter the Quarter, Year, Volume No. and Page No. where it asks for the date; and the location as the District
This is how I have completed the form.
If you have more information:
such as Father or Mother's name for Births;
Spouse for Marriage (even a first name);
Occupation for Death;
it will help if the record is not located and a search is required.
The fees on all the forms are now shown as:
Note 1
If the record you have requested cannot be found, a search fee of €4.00 will be charged.
Note 2
Photocopies of entries in the registers are also available at a cost of €6.00, (additional copies - €4.00). These contain exactly the same information as a Certificate but are only of use for research purposes
I haven't had to order certs recently but they have obviously increased the fee
