Genealogy discounts and offers come in all shapes and sizes and are announced to coincide with traditional festivals (St Patrick's Day/Christmas, for example), newer commercially inspired events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and at steady intervals throughout the year.
This page of Irish Genealogy Toolkit is updated regularly, so be sure to bookmark it if you want to be certain of picking up a bargain and keeping the cost of your ancestral search under control.
Here are the current special offers and discounts likely to be of interest to Irish genealogists:

MyHeritage DNA for just £39 plus free access and 50% off!
MyHeritage DNA is offering its lowest price for DNA kits.
Both offers include free shipping for two or more kits and, when your test has been processed, will provide you with an estimate of your origins and 'match' you with relatives in the MyHeritage DNA database.
Prices below are in Sterling (£) but if you click the Order now buttons you should be offered the currency of your MyHeritage 'geographical territory'.
With the second offer - and for exactly the same price - you receive a whole lot more. For example, a free 30-day trial to MyHeritage's database of genealogy records. When that expires, you'll be entitled to claim a 50% discount on an annual subscription to that database; this brings the price down to £114 for the first year.
Click an Order Now button above to find out more.
An expiry date for this Sale has not been confirmed. The company say it ends 'tomorrow' but these tomorrows sometimes last a few days. And even if it doesn't, the same deal may be on offer again in a week or so.

After more than 15 years online, Irish Genealogy Toolkit is undergoing a facelift.
The process is taking some time. I started with 224 pages to convert. There are 14 left (August 2023), so the end is now in sight. Please bear with me during the ongoing transition.
I hope you like the fresh new design and have become accustomed to the revised layout.

Did all the records burn??
The short answer is No, but the truth is a bit more complicated, because much of Ireland's genealogical heritage did, indeed, go up in flames at the Public Records Office in 1922.
Discover which Irish records burned, and which survived, and how this may impact your Irish family history research.
Irish Genealogy News
Irish Genealogy News is my blog.
It's read by professional genealogists, individual family historians and pretty much everyone who wants to keep up to date with all the latest resources and developments in Irish family history.
In his Irish Times column, renowned genealogist John Grenham described Irish Genealogy News as 'absolutely essential for anyone who wants to know what’s happening in Irish genealogy'.
