You actually open a wider discussion here, which is how to charge or not to charge for genealogical information
At a national level the IFHF business model is deeply flawed, and that seems to be recognised by the Irish government with the new free web site that has Dublin and Kerry records so far.
The Census is online and free
I appreciate that someone has to do the work in transcribing the records, and particularly in the case of the C of I, in maintaining churches.
The reason that "pay for information" sites have appeared to fail is, in my opinion, due to the fact that most of us trawling back in time in Ireland, are doing just that "trawling". We have no idea whether our ancestor lived in parish A or parish B, nor do we have any idea who their parents were. We have to trawl many parishes and try to make sense of the information we have
In the case of the Blongs (one would think a comparatively easy name to research) it is complex as (you are aware) the Huguenots came to Portarlington, and had a decent set of surviving records, but they suddenly disappear, so one has to try to find what goes in the gap in the 1700s when families were growing in size.
With the
Blongs my attempts at trawling Portarlington records are hereI have
trawled Clonmore for Blongs and I have
trawled Clonbullogue for BlongsI have
trawled Coolbanagher for BlongsYou can see that it is not a simple question to ask of a parish in an email, either for me or for most researchers. It is is a question of vacuuming up information and trying to make sense of it.
It would not help you parish finances (and I am not sure how many donations you would get), but I will make you a genuine offer on a web site, as I am in the web business. I would be happy to register you a dot com URL and put you parish information on it and hand control over to you. Would not cost the parish anything, but the information would be out there.
I am not sure if that would help you or not
