Free Online Resource For Ireland

Any one researching Ancestors in Ireland knows that it is one long roundabout of searching sites for databases that their Ancestors may be on. Most of the time they are out of luck.
Library Ireland has a site, which amongst other things, has Directories(County, City and Borough) for 1862.
Well worth a look as that Ancestor may be hiding here.
