The administration of the civil registration system in Ireland, which includes the provision of certificates of life events on payment of the appropriate fees, rests with an tArd-Chláraitheoir or Registrar General for births, deaths and marriages. I have made inquiries of an tArd-Chláraitheoir and he advises me that his office, in consultation with the public services e-broker, REACH, is in the final stages of the development of an on-line application system for certificates of life events. It is anticipated that the service will be operational by the end of June 2006.
