What are the best (web based?) organisation/s to join for accessing records in/of Ireland?
Have you tried ifhf.ie (Irish Family History online). Not bad if they have done the area you are looking for, but it's a bit expensive. Very difficult otherwise Familysearch have some info. but bit limited.
"A bit expensive" is a bit of an understatement. Pay your five euros and get back the basic information that you gave them and precious little else. I wasted twenty euros on four possibiities for my great great grandfather's marriage. Apart from the fact that none of them were him, the information that IFHF so kindly supplied was the last name only of the father of the groom, a blank for the name of the mother of the groom, and blanks for the father and mother of the bride. Useless.

I agree that it is a bit expensive, but i have found 4 records of my Ancestors in there. But i was aware of alot of the information i.e name and parish/townland. But yes i had several misses because the information displayed on the screen can be misleading. There are also duplicate records in there.
Irishgenealogy.ie is a free site that has searchable records some from Dublin which IHFH doesn't have available. If you have family from Co.Clare, clarelibrary.ie is a free and fantastic site to search through.
