That's what I was wondering if there was anything similar available for Ireland. BMD's 1919 - present day, records or indexes.
See replies 1, 5 and 8. (edited)
I found names of my Irish cousins.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

I'm mainly asking for the period of the 1960's - as close to the present day as possible  :)

No, 1958 is the limit.

I'm hoping someone can help with finding the birth record of someone born in Ireland.  His name was Christopher Slattery born around 1937 and his father is named as Thomas.  That's all the details I have.  I have contacted the Dublin archives and one birth record in Ennis around the same date didn't match with the father.  I'm thinking he may not have been born in Ireland and it's just a tale which has passed down in the family.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Births over 100 years will be available to view on Irish Genealogy website. For later ones you need to contact the archives as you've done. Did the Slatterys leave Ieeland and live elsewhere in later years? you could try Scotland's People (pay per view) if they moved to Scotland, FreeBMD is they went to England or Wales.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Dublin archives
is the wrong terminology. For BMD's in England and Wales one consults the GRO indexes and images or orders certs from the GRO not eg The National Archives.

Similarly for the Republic you contact https://www.gov.ie/en/organisation-information/143f25-about-the-general-register-office/
The General Register Office (Oifig An Ard-Chláraitheora) is the central civil repository for records relating to births, stillbirths, deaths, marriages, civil partnerships and adoptions in Ireland.
https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/birth-family-relationships/getting-birth-marriage-or-death-certificate/
Presume above was who you contacted.

For the 6 counties of Northern Ireland before and after partition 1922 https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/introduction-groni-and-its-records but with all the pre-partition records also available free to search & view on Irishgen (apart from the outstanding deaths 1864-70).

The 1864-1958 BMD indexes transcribed by Familysearch as a volunteer project are also consultable on Ancestry and Findmypast (the post 1922 data being for the 26 counties only, no post 1 Jan 1922 BMD data is available online or offline anywhere apart from GRONI for Northern Ireland).

Apart from births after the 100 year cut-off ie 1924-1958, marriages 1949-58 and outstanding death images 1864-70 the old indexes, akin to FreeBMD in England and Wales, are to all intents and purposes obsolete having been superseeded by
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp as one can name search and view the actual image at the same time rather than the situation in England where one uses the GRO index info to purchase an image or paper cert.
