A few year ago I looked for Meredith estate records but could not find any. I discovered that the Meredith's were in fact renting land from the Earl of Kenmare and in turn subletting to smaller tenants. The majority of the Kenmare papers ( not the same as the Landsdowne estate which is located in the Kenmare area and the subject of the  RTE programme. Trench was the land agent for Lord Landsdowne.) are in the Public Record Office in Belfast and a few in the National Library in Dublin. There are some rental records  in Muckross House in Killarney. I got lists from Muckross of tenants  in the 1870's and 80's for some townlands I was interested in but they didn't  allow access to the records. Their website is http://www.muckross-house.ie/library_files/libintro.htm.
There is a very good history of the records of the Kenmare estate at PRONI link  http://www.proni.gov.uk/ and just search for Kenmare papers.
Hope this is of use.
